Ancient humans lived through a humongous volcanic eruption 74,000 years ago

Stone tools found at the Dhaba site corresponding with the Toba volcanic super-eruption levels. Pictured here are diagnostic Middle Palaeolithic core types. About 74,000 years ago, Sumatra's Mount Toba experienced a super-eruption -- an event scientists suspect was large enough to wipe out a majority of early humans living at the time, slowing down the spread of humanity.

"The fact that these toolkits did not disappear at the time of the Toba super-eruption or change dramatically soon after indicates that human populations survived the so-called catastrophe and continued to create tools to modify their environments." However, this was not a lasting legacy. For example, the humans who survived this event didn't thrive enough to the point that they contributed to the current gene pool."The archeological record demonstrates that although humans sometimes show a remarkable level of resilience to challenges, it is also clear that people did not necessarily always prosper over the long term," said Michael Petraglia, study co-author at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History.

But could they get home without stoned commie protesters blocking their route?

There were probably many eruptions in the past that affected humans

71,000 years ago or was it 69,000 years ago lol

Walk in the park compared to what Trudeau is doing to Alberta 👎

The scientific dating methods: There are gross discrepancies, the chronology is uneven and relative, and the accepted dates are actually the selected dates. In other words, it is based on speculation not true science.

I was wondering if someone would bring up climate change. 😂👍🏼. Too bad they didn’t pay a carbon tax back then.

Climate change blamed again?
