We've known about that for a couple of years, I thought. And it's understandable. Some of those large reptiles must have been deadly predators.

I doubt mammoths and the like  specifically hunted humans. It just shows that palaeo-era tribes were not the Noble-Savages that some people like to depict them as(like I used to).

I was referring to the Australian situation. And they were just trying to feed themselves.
