Well, as I've stated in the past, something in modern ideas of the history of the ice ages, etc. is wrong. Some fellow compiled a list of all the flood legends in all the cultures he could find and came up with something like 200 stories.

And the gold diggers in Alaska, etc were astonished to find massive amounts of crushed bones, of all species, mixed in tremendous piles of debris and mud, tree parts, and plant remains, like it had all been put through a blender, and flash frozen.

Whatever happened, it wasn't a nice gentle warming where the ice slowly melted and receded. It was fantastic in scope, and the sea levels rose 300 feet in a very short time. The few remaining mammoths were frozen, the rhinocerous and sabre tooth tiger went extinct, I don't doubt man was almost erased, this event might well have been what finally doomed the neanderthals. And it was about 10,500 years ago.

200? Wow, I didn't realize there were that many. I have a pet theory that the story of Atlantis is another such flood legend.

I've heard that a lot of fossil finds show the same kind of 'blender' effect. In the last few days there was a thread about fossilized remains only 5,000 years old, pointing to the fact that such 'pureed' fossil beds don't have to be millions of years old.
