I'm not sure what the 2/3 refers to here

Megafauna is probably not in our spell checkers :) I

Where did mound building take place? (Glad you identify Cahokia later in the paragraph).<br> The next sentences will work best in your own words. Help us picture what it would be like to build this!

A positive pattern in your writing: you check in with the reader at the end to make sure they understand the importance of what you've just shared. Keep this up!

Good factual content. I appreciate the note you make at the end: burning was an important tool because it allowed people to hunt and gather close to home, and thus to stop living a nomadic lifestyle.

Consider creating a title that gestures at that final point you make -- something about fire and being able to stay longer in one place. That's the real topic of the post.!

Great way to start the timeline!

I really like that you paused and explained Overkill theory

This could be a great entry to supplement with information from p 54 of Mann

Consider developing a complimentary entry that describes the Mississippian Chiefdoms based on the second half of Mann chapter 10.
