#1 Meh. I'm not sold. There's too much sentiment against the idea of noble savages driving large numbers of mammals into extinction to *not* inspire an awful lot of thumbs on the scale 'gainst the "injuns done kilt 'em oft" hypothesis. And this Clovis impact seems awfully sharp-targeted, in that it kilt off a bunch of herbivores but not the big mean predators which lived off the herbivores. In other words, if this strike or strikes was ruinous enough to kill off the native North American horse, why didn't it also kill off the grizzly or wolf? Or, for that matter, the people?

This all just reeks of "let's dig around until we find something, and make a lot of analogies & bury them under with technobabble about impact diamonds to make up for the lack of a serious impact crater we can offer".
