Français : Graphique représentant les extinctions brutales de la grande faune de l'ère quaternaire, sur plusieurs continents, quand les populations de chasseurs préhistoriques augmentent (d'après Martin, 1989). Il n'y a que dans les grandes forêts tropicales et équatoriales qu'un tel phénomène n'a pas été observé (mais ces milieux semblent avoir été dépourvus de mégafaune); source : Martin P. S. (1989).
