But these were anatomically modern people - the North American Megafauna were around 50k years ago... There is no evolutionary pressure there!

Yeah, I realized that as soon as I posted, an interesting paper nonetheless. I thought I had also read a paper discussing protohuman hunting practices earlier in the year but I couldn't find it here. Certainly anatomically modern early humans had much more of an impact on our environment then we often give them credit for.
