There was a reboot 12,800 years ago in the Pleistocene Period by a comet or asteroid hitting Africa that wiped out most life there.
*Previous thread today.
Is there a conflict of theories?

Not a re-boot of the human species. Just a shock to the environment.

Of interest is that fact that 1 million years ago when the article says things began to change is also when the every 100,000 year Ice Age/warming pattern began. That ought to get some study.

It was North American Ice sheet the rocks hit over a period of 1000 years. You misread the post yesterday which seemed to imply Africa, but that was only one minor deposit - most are found on the NA continent. There was no crater as the rocks hit a 2 km thick glacier. There is a possible crater in the UP of Michigan. Other ‘splatter’ impacted the Carolinas and Nebraska.
