What people are saying
The discussions reveal a strong consensus that the study provides important insights into the extinction of Megalodon, with posts frequently citing the revised extinction date and proposing competition with great white sharks as a key factor. The language is enthusiastic and analytical, highlighting the paper’s significance and encouraging further exploration of shark evolution.
The majority of discussions emphasize the significance of the new findings, particularly regarding the revised extinction timing and its implications about competition with white sharks.
Posts demonstrate high interest, referencing detailed aspects like methodology, extinction timing (~3.6 Ma), and implications for understanding marine megafauna's history.
Many contributions include sharing articles, summarizing findings, and debating potential causes such as competition, reflecting deep engagement.
The extensive sharing, praise for the methodology, and focus on the extinction's causes suggest that the scientific paper is considered to have substantial influence in paleo and marine biology circles.

El Megalodón se extinguió hace 3,6 m.a., 1 m.a. antes de lo que se creía. Por lo tanto, la causa de su extinción no pudo ser el declive de sus presas (como mamíferos marinos); los autores sugieren que pudo ser la competencia con el tiburón blanco.@thePeerJ https://t.co/6mSOJna33o

Scientists suspect the megalodon was driven extinct cuz the great white shark, which is more than three times smaller, outcompeted it. So the latest scientific theory is that it doesn't matter how big you are; it's how you use it. https://t.co/DLseU4zKFn

@ThePunkman08 Según lo que he podido entender del artículo. En el apartado de "taxonomic note" dicen que tanto Carcharocles como Otodus serían sinónimos. Pero también mencionan de "fusionarlos" en un mismo género, Otodus.
