Space dust, micro meteoroids, I would assume fell upon the earth a million years ago, or so.........................
Read a paper once that explained how the location of our solar system in one of the arms of the Milky Way was in pretty much the “sweet spot” for the possibility of life on Earth.
For stars located too close to the center of the galaxy, with a relatively heavy population of stars, the occurrence of nearby supernova is too common (even if only a couple of times every million years) to allow the evolution of living systems.
For stars located too far out on the spiral arms, nearby supernovae are too rare to allow the accumulation of significant amounts of elements higher in atomic number than iron - and a variety of those elements are absolute requirements for the kind of living systems found on Earth.
But if you’re in exactly the right location - and their hypothesis was we are - you get just the right occurrence of nearby supernovae to allow the incredbiy long period of time it takes to get to sentient creatures.
Yes, almost as if it was ‘planned’...............................
Let’s go ask Nancy Pelosi what it looked like.
Were “Women and minorities affected the worst” than white males by this event?
This is old news
That blowed up real good.
Cosmic rays are produced from massive galactic events like a supernovae and consist of matter particles like Fe or Mn that have additional neutrons making them radioactive.
The explosion accelerates the particles to nearly the speed of light. If the SN was 10,000 light years away it would take about 10,000 years for the particles to get here. In addition because they are traveling at nearly the speed of light they would not appear to “decay” relative to our Earth clocks which are at rest.
Once the particles arrived at the Earth and came to rest they began to decay. From the known half-life of these isotopes that was about 2.6 billion years ago.
There is growing evidence it was a micro nova from our sun.

This has not been studied that I'm aware of. The two major near extinction of humans bottle necks of human population of 70,000 years ago and 12,800 years ago also had the effect of a Y Chromosome(Males) bottleneck right after the both events. Y Chromosome are more radiosensitive then the X chromosomes. As a result for thousands of years after both these events the female/male ratio was 6 to 1 and 17 to 1 respectively.
I'm suggesting a micro-nova from our sun could be that trigger.

>So not only do we now know that there definitely was a SN explosion in Earth’s vicinity about 2.5 million years ago, we also have the very first detection of the unstable 55Mn isotope.
Typo 53Mn
Oddly enough, this puts it very close to the day of birth of one Nancy Pelosi....hmmmm…….
As a result for thousands of years after both these events the female/male ratio was 6 to 1 and 17 to 1 respectively.
Cue Dr. Strangelove reference ... "It vould not be difficult, mein Führer! ... I mean, Mr. President".
Looks more like chocolate cream pie
Dang you found it first.
Probably came from the Ford Galaxy.
Since nobody was around to see it then it is based 100% on theory.
“As a result for thousands of years after both these events the female/male ratio was 6 to 1 and 17 to 1 respectively.”
I wonder if those events resulted in a genetic predisposition toward male promiscuity.
The cover story for the Hughes Glomar Explorer was it was going to mine manganese nodules from the sea floor.
The real purpose of the ship was to recover the Russian missile sub K-129, from a depth of 18,000 feet:
