I'm posting on behalf of Cameron Laird, once again.

Cameron recommends that those of us interested in the subject
of anthropogenic environmental change in Pacific islands check
out:

| Steadman, David W.
| 1995 "Prehistoric Extinctions of Pacific
| Island Birds: Biodiversity Meets
| Zooarchaeology", Science, volume
| 267, pages 1123-1131 (24 February
| 1995)
|
| which begins "On tropical Pacific islands, a human-
| caused 'biodiversity crisis' began thousands of years
| ago ... [M]ost species of land birds and populations
| of seabirds on those islands were exterminated by
| prehistoric human activities. . . . The current
| global extinction crisis therefore has historic pre-
| cedent."
