Gotta wonder why these brilliant academics, products and members of the Scientific Community™ don't spend more time and effort on something that happened yesterday, in geologic time. The Pleistocene/Holocene extinction event ~13,000 years ago that wiped out much of the megafauna on the planet along with much of humankind, has been relegated to over hunting by man when evidence of massive flooding and enormous waves are everywhere. With few exceptions one has to go back to work done 40 - 50 years ago to find any HARD science on the event. I'm sure some of IT is also suspect. Do these academics already know what they'll find and don't like what they see? Or is it possible, or even likely they will fall out of favor with the NSF and other scientific money changers?
Darwin himself had trouble explaining the discontinuities he found in the geologic record. His "theory" had holes in it; he knew it and actually owned up to it. That didn't stop others from taking his work, turning it upside down and creating the theory of evolution from whole cloth.
I truly get P!$$#D about this nonsense. Junk science bought and paid for primarily with our tax dollars.
Well, enough of that. I'll just give myself heartburn...
I guess you have missed Sunken Civ’s numerous postings of Firestone et al.’s recent book on this subject. Google the author, or perhaps SC will post it again. It is very interesting read and pulls together numerous and widespread anomolies and explains them.
