In a mass extinction event some 40,000 years ago, Australia lost 90% of its large species. New research suggests climate change played a much smaller role than once thought, though not all agree.
The main idea of the text is that new research suggests climate change may have had a less significant role than previously believed in the mass extinction event in Australia 40,000 years ago that wiped out 90% of its large species.
While some scientists believe climate change was a major factor, the new findings based on ancient kangaroo teeth point to other potential drivers for the mass extinction.
