Yeah I actually meant that the first extinction happened 10,000 years ago when humans first arrived on the continent! Humans arriving is what caused the biomass of animals to collapse

And then Europeans arriving basically finished the job ... that one probably affected the plants more, due to agriculture. (but also the remaining animals)

Yeah New Zealand is a good example.
