Australian megafauna, such as the Diprotodon and the Megalania, coexisted with the first human inhabitants, the Aboriginal Australians. Evidence suggests that these early humans hunted some megafauna for food, which could have contributed to their eventual extinction around 46,000 years ago. Additionally, the presence of humans may have altered the habitats and ecosystems that these large animals relied on, further impacting their survival. However, the exact nature and extent of these interactions remain subjects of ongoing research and debate.
