Here's More Evidence That Earth Got Hit by Something Huge 12,800 Years Ago

New evidence from South Africa is adding further credence to the idea that a large asteroid or comet struck Earth during the Pleistocene – an event that possibly triggered the extinction of many large animals while also disrupting human populations at a global scale.

“Our finding at least partially supports the highly controversial Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis,” explained Thackeray in a press release. “We seriously need to explore the view that an asteroid impact somewhere on Earth may have caused climate change on a global scale, and contributed to some extent to the process of extinctions of large animals at the end of the Pleistocene, after the last ice age.”
