  Published evidence for the human-mediated extinction of megafauna is examined
and is found to be unsubstantiated. It is shown that the claimed evidence is
not based on data describing the growth of human population but on the
fabricated data. However, even these fabricated data, which were claimed to
support the human-induced extinction of megafauna, contradict this claim. The
belief in the human-induced extinction of megafauna appears to be so strong
that even contradicting evidence based on the fabricated data is interpreted as
the evidence supporting this belief.
