This situation alone must make us acknowledge South America to be an exceptional case, worthy of an intensive and detailed study. The Pampas alone were populated by 38 extinct herbivore genera in excess of 100 kg, 20 of which were megaherbivores, a fauna that has no living analog on the planet (Fariña, 1996 Prevosti and Vizcaíno, 2006). The apparent lack of interest is surprising, considering that South America, according to Martin and Steadman (1999:38), lost “over 50 genera of large mammals, more than any other continent”, or at least 40 genera according to Cione and coauthors (2003:10).
Martin and Wright, 1967 Klein and Martin, 1984 Barnosky et al., 2004 Steadman et al., 2005 Koch and Barnosky, 2006). Here I consider the evidence for the interactions of humans and South American late Pleistocene megafauna, a subject not usually covered in much detail in general compilations dealing with Pleistocene extinctions (cf.
