The Holocene start impacts are a scientific claim and they do have to be able to withstand rigorous review. For myself, I can't find a good reason for the peoples to have made up extravagant stories about stuff falling from the heavens and killing large numbers of people, and giving these stories such importance. What they described reads to me as cometary impact. Many feel free to simply dismiss their traditions as myths and nonsense. But they shouldn't be shocked if the next round of research proves cometary impact. Why? In the end, we get down to the disappearance of Clovis, and more significantly, the abandonment of quarries - in other words, about 95% of the population dying. Impact fits the bill. If anyone else has any other explanation then I hope they share it. E.P. Grondine Man and Impact in the Americas PS - The sceptical also kite by the C14 production rate increase. I think they're whistling pass the grave yard. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
