these extinctions occur within and just following the Younger Dryas, and generally they are attributed to an interaction between climatic warming and human impacts (Barnosky et al., 2004; Brook and Barnosky, 2012; Koch and Barnosky, 2006).
Indeed, isn't it becoming an accepted view that the Permian - Triassic («Great Dying»)

To answer this question, the scientists examined a hypothetical scenario in which the Big Five
extinctions occurred suddenly, such that all of the species went extinct over just 500 years rather than over hundreds of thousands to millions of years.
