The Sonoran Desert we know today was a very different place 13 thousand years ago, when now-extinct megafauna roamed these lands at the end of the last ice age and encountered a species new to this continent: humans. Dr. Ismael will talk about the archaeological sites of Sonora and Arizona that give us clues to how these animals and the first Sonoran people interacted. Spoiler alert! It did not always end well for the megafauna. Please Note: This program will be presented in Spanish with English language subtitles.
