If megafauna population is constrained by food availably then slight (a couple percent annual mortality) hunting pressure will not do all that much to reduce overall population.
You can look at modern game animal populations to see how the feedback loops work.
- asdff 2y agoHumans probably didn’t exert hunting pressure alone. They might have exerted spacial pressure securing their camps. They might have exerted pressure competing for the same resources (food or small game) as the megafauna.
