Claremont, California (PRWEB) October 14, 2021 Claremont Graduate University’s Drucker School of Management has received a $1 million endowment to benefit
Equus namadicus, alongside other great beasts that roamed the Indian subcontinent.
Modern humans had arrived by then on the Indian subcontinent from Africa but these four large mammals stuck around in the region for at least 20,000 years after their arrival. A low-magnitude extinction began about 30,000 years ago when some megafaunal species, such as the giant elephants, hippopotamus and zebra-like horse, started disappearing.
This is in contrast to the Americas, Europe and Australia where the arrival of humans (
Homo sapiens) have been implicated in more rapid, large scale megafauna extinctions such as those of woolly mammoths and sabre-toothed tigers.
