Abstract:		 Responds to a recent article discussing evidence for a solar flare cause of faunal extinction during the Late Pleistocene (LaViolette 2011). The article is based on the hypothesis that an increase in atmospheric radiocarbon concentration might have been produced by a giant solar proton event (SPE). This proposed SPE would deliver a lethal radiation dose of at least 3'“6 Sv to the surface of the Earth, causing termination of the Pleistocene megafauna.\r\nIs is argued that this level of radiation would have also had a major impact on humans and other mammalian species which is not evident in the archaeological record, concluding that this makes the SPE explanation unlikely as a cause of the megafaunal decline.
