Human beings may have had a brush with extinction 70,000 years ago, an extensive genetic study suggests.

No, the flood was just a bit less than 4,000 years ago. Idiot journalist can't even do simple arithmetic. Must have gone to a NYC public school.

less hair == more likely to die due to exposure to cold or to heat.

living-near-the-litoral == more fish protein for brain development

That’s why we learned how to make nukes...

Its back to basics after a nuclear war, crawling out of the ashes and all.

I suspect the human race has risen and fallen numerous times, especially once his toys are too big for his britches.

“A little setback now and then tends to cull the herd. We’re overdue.”

Bingo.

There were no humans 70,000 years ago.

Even by the reckoning of "science" the first humans did not appear until 40,000 years ago with the first homo sapiens sapiens.

That’s okay, the aliens would have come back and re-seeded the planet.

"Also about 4,500 years ago because of flooding."

...caused by global warming making the glaciers melt.

"It was the SUV’s; (vide Flintstones)."

Yes, let's not forget the Flintstones and their EEEEVEEEL SUVs.

For whatever His reasons are, I believe it’s all in God’s plan.

"This was caused during global warming, version 1.0."

More like 2.0. There were probably two previous ice ages before the last one, beginning at the end of the Cambrian and occurring about every 200,000,000 (that's 200 million, for you "progressive lurkers) years. These were alternated with Global Warming 1.0 and 1.2.

Nowadays, we're probably up to Global Warming SE.

Actually, "by the reckoning of 'science'":
"The 130,000 year-old reconstructed skull shown below at left represents the earliest known example of a modern human being, Homo sapiens sapiens."
The 40K figure is one of several for the alleged explosion out of Africa of the master race which destroyed all remaining competitors.

No, it was Brontoburger-induced flatulence that caused prehistoric climate change.
