Good question certainly. Toba, was it survivable in the Asian regions, I think yes but there isn’t any definitive proof I am aware of.

“How many of the likely lived to be ancestors though. Given the Toba event after their arrival.”

In “A short history of nearly everything,” by Bill Bryson, he talks about a species that looks like anatomically current man but is extinct. Despite their appearance, nobody alive today is related to them. After the Toba event the total population of humans may not have exceeded a few thousand total for thousands of years. As he said, that’s a long time to recover from a single event.

Next event up, nuclear war, brought to you by President Nobel Peace Prize.
