Highlights

• Modern humans (Homo sapiens) drive late-Quaternary megafauna extinctions, with no role for climate change.
• The strong body-size bias of the late-Quaternary extinctions is also linked to modern humans, not climatic change.
• The late-Quaternary extinctions represent the first planet-wide, human-driven transformation of the environment.
