The extinction pattern tells a story that most people miss. North and South America lost roughly 75% of their large animal species at the end of the Pleistocene. Eurasia lost around 35%. Africa? Only 10%. That's why Africa still has elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions. Those are Pleistocene survivors. The catastrophe wasn't global in the way we typically imagine. It was geographically selective, hitting some regions far harder than others. That kind of uneven distribution doesn't fit well with gradual climate change or human overhunting spread evenly across continents. But it does fit with something sudden and localized in its severity. A bolide impact, or multiple impacts, would produce exactly this kind of patchwork devastation. The evidence is in the survival rates themselves.
