Can you imagine being stuck in the dawn of human agriculture, and you seek shelter in a nice cave that you found.... And then a Giant Sloth just lumbers in after a bit.

I mean, I imagine any Homo species of the time would know not to go inside one of these, but still.

So not giant sloths specifically, but Australian Aboriginals have oral histories describing megafauna that went extinct around the same time period

wow, that implies an aboriginal oral history spanning at least 40,000 years if true
