same fagging here for a sec, my brother told me a centipede got into his room when he lived in Mexico, and several sprays of bug spray wasn't killing it, so he had to sweep it outside, cover it in lighter fluid and then cut it in half with a machete, fuck centipedes in all forms, the next fallout game will probably have them in rad form and it'll be horrifying

>The inverse relationship between hyenas and human remains leads us to hypothesis that the number of Siberian humans may have been held down by hyena and other carnivore predation, as well as by cold climate and patchy food resources in the steppe and forest-steppe eco-systems. Just as there are hyena attacks on children and elderly adults today in Africa and India, so must have been their predatory behavior during the Ice Age. Toddlers wandering away from camp would have made easy pickings for a packing of prowling Siberian hyenas. Opportunistic predation would have been an added measure of human population control that would have slowed down the natural expansion northward of a growing population. There is very little evidence of human presence north of the Arctic Circle until the very end of the Ice Age.

Most fossils on Earth are in fact very very tiny. So tiny you can't see them without a microscope. Diatomaceous earth is an example of fossil remains we grind up and use for various purposes of our own. Rocks like slate, chert, radiolarite, stromatolites etc. were formed predominantly by microorganisms. Modern scientists use a nanometers fine sieve or centrifugal separation to analyze these fossils, usually through SEM.

Some of these microfossils, typically from earlier periods, bear little resemblance to any modern form of life on earth.

>>2340777
We're living during an extinction event. Most giant megafauna went extinct in the first phase as humans spread around the world, with only Africa being mostly spared due to them evolving alongside us.

Regarding land animals, there was a period with very high oxygen atmosphere which allowed bigger animals to exist. Especially the giant insects who take in oxygen passively without lungs.

In more recent times the last ice age killed off a lot of big mammals.

>>2343530
That is simply not true. The largest flying insect existed at a time when oxygen was lower than today, the largest ever land living arthropod existed at a time when oxygen was the same as today.

That guy is a complete idiot, just ignore him. To the extent that I know largest flying insect was Meganeuropsis permiana and the largest land dwelling arthropod was Arthropleura. Permiana was around in the early Permian period and Arthropleura was the Carboniferous. If he is seriously implying that the oxygen in the early Permian was lower than today and the Carboniferous was equal to today he is a wholesale idiot.

Skimming over that, the largest specimen they discuss is "one very large species with wings 21-23 cm long," whereas Meganeuropsis permiana had a wingspan of up to 70 cm. Unless I'm missing something, those aren't bigger.
