  • Today, we humans run the show. However, in the past many other species have dominated and died at the hands of our capricious planet. Whether it was an asteroid from the sky or lava from below it seems that on a timeline the chances of survival for all sophisticated life becomes zero. We look at key events over the last 100,000 years that could have changed everything.
    In this truly spectacular documentary series, we go on a journey through the history of natural disasters. We'll be investigating from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.

    I never did particularly like the hypothesis that the disappearance of the megamammals was caused by humans hunting them to extinction. How could a few hundred nomadic hunter-gatherer bands do that, especially since they likely didn't hunt the larger animals all that often? The hypothesis that a large meteor impact event caused the extinction of the megamammals seems much more plausible.

      It can happen. If there is a large species which have had no predators for a very long time, they can be very slow at reproducing. A new predator with increasing numbers could reduce that population to the point they become unsustainable.

      I don't think blame is the correct word. However, they have found pit trap remains that we're used by humans to trap mammoths. The pit trap was an evolution to cliff herd killing, i.e. stampeding herds of the edge of a cliff.

      That's true. But how often did any particular band of humans hunt large animals? It would have been a major endeavor and any particular group would not have done it all that often. In fact, it might have taken a combined group to dig a pit trap, camouflage it, herd the animals into it, and process the kills.
      Furthermore, how often would a particular herd of mammoths, bison, etc. have been subjected to a massive hunt? I doubt that it would have been enough to effect the genetic viability of a particular herd, much less the entire population of a species.

      Milankovitch cycles have been occurring since the Earth got it's tilt. That tilt has been hypothesized to have resulted in a planet-sized body - Theia ~ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theia_(planet) - colliding with the Planet & (perhaps) excavating the rocky material that eventually formed the Moon ...
      That is supposed to have happened more than four BILLION years ago, and yet there is no evidence (that I know of) of any of Earth's many Ice Ages and glacial periods that are confirmed to have been DIRECTLY caused by the Milankovitch cycles that must surely have existed - with varied period duration's - SINCE the Planet's tilt occurred ...

    The narrator asserts that Earth's changing distance from the sun is what caused the ice ages. This is doubtful at best. Because Earth's orbit is an ellipse and not a circle, its distance from the sun normally varies from 91 million miles to 94 million miles over the course of each year. And we don't have an ice age every year.

      Earth's rotational axis is tilted to 23.5° relative to its orbital plane. However, its axis wobbles like a spinning toy top that is slowing down. Over time, therefore, the north pole points to different areas of the sky, describing a circle. This is known as axial precession. It takes 26,000 years for a complete circle. It has nothing to do with ice ages.

    The title of this video is misleading, Toba filled only a short part of the longer, albeit interesting, video. Toba is an active supervolcano, unlikely to erupt anytime soon, but still a potential threat. The United States has several supervolcanoes, many of which are active to one extent or another, Europe has one confirmed and one suspected - and as they noted, there are around 27 confirmed, I believe 8 are confirmed active with the status of others unsure. A longer video detailing all the known supervolcanoes, their eruption history and potential for threat would be very interesting to many, certainly worth consideration, but that would need to be at least 1.5hrs long to do the subject even passing justice...

    There are a few things wrong with this documentary. One, Tunguska was an airburst, not an actual impact. The proof is that at the epicenter, the trees were left standing, as opposed to being incinerated. Two theories not even mentioned in the documentary on the onset of the Younger Dryas deserve consideration. The most plausible theory was a massive solar storm, also known as a micronova, occurred when the sun ejected its topmost layer into the solar system, possibly by pressure building as the topmost layer of the sun started to cool and contract. The effects would have been diverse and catastrophic... instantaneously on the side facing the sun there would have been incineration, as the atmosphere would have been insufficient to shield the earth from the micronova.and the iron clovis layer could be ejecta from the microburst from the sun. On the opposite side, there was an instantaneous drop in temperature drop, which is why you find mammoths with undigested food in their stomach and even flowers in their mouths... they hadn't even time to spit out their food before they were instantaneously flash frozen to several hundred degrees below zero. These are relatively recent discoveries, and explain a lot. So the crater of a massive impact does exist, but it doesn't explain the instantaneous melting of all the ice on earth which brought on a massive flood that is recounted in every culture's oral and traditional histories, including 'Noah's flood" which was recorded worldwide in ancient texts including of cour\se the Bible. Prior to this, the sea levels were up to 400 feet lower than they are today, and an instantanious liquefication of all the ice on earth would have wiped out most of civilization, in addition to creating massive tsunamis that would have wiped out most of civilization living on the then coast which is marked by the continental shelf surrounding the continents. A third possibility is a magnetic pole reversal, which would have reversed the rotation of the Earth and slowed the rotation of the inner nickel-iron core while the surface continued to rotate- air, water, and the associated debris washing across the surface as the 1,000 mph rotation slowed then reversed. A reversal does not mean the earth was flipped upside down, only the magnetic polarity was reversed. Only such a massive shift could cause native Peruvians in the Andes have legends of 'blue-green water' overtopping the Andes. For more information, the Hiawatha crater has its own video I watched half a year back (czcams.com/video/wDszV2XvybU/video.html), the solar storm theory is embraced by the CZcams channel The Why Files and by the Diebold Project, which predicts another microburst based on extensive calculations could happen as early as 2046. No matter which bears out to be the culprit, it is more likely it may be a combination of the three, either in succession or almost simultaneously.

      You've assembled several interesting things into one paragraph, Dave. Some, however, don't fit very well. For example, Earth's magnetic pole has shifted numerous times; we may have one developing in the near term. Magnetic field patterns locked into the Atlantic seabed reveal how often this has happened. Earth's rotation isn't affected, but the magnetosphere probably will be. The cataclysm you described, however, isn't magnetic pole shifting, but a different fringe notion where the geologic layers of the planet move catastrophically.

Mini-excursions happen -6k years & -12k years there is a “geomagnetic excursion” which is a rapid flip of Earth’s magnetic field, which the North & South magnetic poles move. There is a major reduction in the magnetic field protection of Earth. Currently the geomagnetic excursion has been moving since 1859 Carrington Event. The North is moving toward Russia & the South toward Indonesia. There is a large Ozone hole near Antarctica. - 10 years was estimated the Earth’s magnetic field has been diminished by 25 to 30%. The new % s are probably higher now. SWARM is closed mouth about the changes. The poles will meet near between India & Indonesia. The opposite of the meeting place is near Peru. These excursions can produce major extinctions of species as well as reductions in populations of species that do not go extinct. More radiation is entering our atmosphere & surface, because a decrease in our ozone layer. Impact craters are part of the cycle. Increase & severity in volcanic event’s as well. The is evidence that stars been recurring nova because of a “magnetic kick” or material being dumped on the star. One example is Betelgeuse which dimmed then flicked. The magnetic current sheet from the Milky Way is producing changes in our solar system. The Sun & all of our planets are being affected. This galactic current sheet produces a magnetic kick as well as extra material being dumped on our Sun. Evidence of our Sun to micro nova which will unlock the crust from the mantle. The ice weight at the polar regions would drive the crust towards the equator (Greenland & Antarctica). This Earth tilt has been described in religious texts as well as stories & legends.

Many studies since demonstrated there was no Toba bottleneck.

    I don't believe that the layer of ice that was used was representative in the impact experiment, it would represent many miles thick if it were scaled up and the red layer of dust which represents the Earth's crust would be many miles thinner than it actually is, wouldn't it? The crust layer should represent a thickness of 35 - 43 km, and the ice had a thickness of 3 - 4 km on average. That ice sheet that he used was way too thick...by several kilometres.

      Both, really, in sequence. Most scientists will say that we are in an "interglacial" between the last glacial maximum and the next one. So a warm spell, an unusually mild interval that allowed humans to develop modern societies, will be followed by cooling and advancing glaciers thousands of years in the future, more or less. There are, however, some scientists suggesting that human caused warming has already shut down the ice age cycle.
