Possibly what brought the Ice Age to an end? And the world is still warming!

Large meteorites and Volcanic eruptions are rare but seem to have great significance. Something exciting to read about but probably terrifying to live through.

My resources say the transition was rather immediate and void of any celestial influence.

Genesis 3:17-19
17 And to the man he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread

AND

Genesis 4:1-3
Now the man knew his wife Eve, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have produced a man with the help of the Lord.”
2 Next she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a tiller of the ground.
3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground

So a comet impact turned us from hunters into farmers?
That`s the stupidest thing I ever heard in all my borned days.

It must have been a really big comet if it cooled off the Earth for 1,200 years (12,900 to 11,700 years before present) and brought the Pleistocene epoch (2.5 million year ice age) to an end.

Is it possible that the Carolina Bays impacts were a Western Hemisphere effect of a comet hitting the Laurentide ice sheet?

All of the comet impacts across the world around 12,800 BC make me suspect that a big comet broke up and slammed into the Earth over just a few weeks or months.

The stories and the effects are from all over the world.

The older standard about the dawn of 'agriculture' is being credibly challenged practically daily. Old ideas die hard (Egyptian megalithic manifestations.)

This chronology of the Younger Dryas puts me in mind of the finds in southwest Egypt of Nabta Playa, a wet region (now dry sandy desert) about 9500 BCE. It was a well populated area and quite active in livestock, especially cattle.

I don't have access to my archives right now, but I remember that not only were large herds sequestered there, they were trading with other regions such as Asia Minor and Mesopotamia, far distances away.

Of course, being a pre-historic site, some of the chronology is in question as well assumed cultural civilization and commerce. Some support for the above narrative might be found in such contemporary sites as the monumental structure at Göbekli Tepe and nearby village architecture of Nevalı Çori, architecture revealing more settled habitation and a somewhat agrarian life style.

The ideas from my childhood years of an agrarian culture and urban civilization exploding mysteriously out of the sandy deserts of Egypt and Mesopotamia approximately 3500 BCE - with no precursor culture to nurture it, are facing more reasonable ideas with more contemporary discoveries filing in the blanks of late Neolithic cultures and life styles. Still a challenging area of study and exploration for aspiring scholars of the future (if we don't sink back into another post-Roman 'Dark Age' of ignorance and regression.)
