Hm hm and a sustainable hunting population bears about
1/1000 or 1/1200  of that of even primitive neolithic farming.
(today's organic farming about 10 fold of this,
todays chemical farming 4-6 times of organic farming).

Pleistocene ended.  Homo xyz died out.
Mammouth died out.
Not sustainable?
Anatomically modern humans are still here.
