Hi -

While this is far from meteorites, it does concern impacts, and specifically the Zamanshin impact.

I received grief for using the term Homo Heidelbergensis in my book for this fellow, even though I added in a footnote that the taxonomy was confused:

Note that no name is given for this homonid right now.

This homonid was likely the common ancestor for sapiens and neanderthal, with the two populations split by the Zamanshin impact.
