Fireballs set half the planet ablaze, wiping out the mammoth and America's Stone Age hunters
Scientists will outline dramatic evidence this week that suggests a comet exploded over the Earth nearly 13,000 years ago, creating a hail of fireballs that set fire to most of the northern hemisphere.
Primitive Stone Age cultures were destroyed and populations of mammoths and other large land animals, such as the mastodon, were wiped out. The blast also caused a major bout of climatic cooling that lasted 1,000 years and seriously disrupted the development of the early human civilisations that were emerging in Europe and Asia......

Shouldn't that be "Bling"?
Bush’s fault?
Whoa!! An answer finally? What happened 11-12 thousand years ago? Killed the mammoths and rhinos? Created the muck in Alaska with billions of smashed up bodies frozen in the permafrost?
Couldn’t have been a comet. Must have been them Fred Flintstone type SUV’s!
BTW, man 10-15 thousand years ago would have been very similar to modern man. A bath, a suit, and a touch of aftershave and he coulda passed in the finest clubs.
They even made a song about it:
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, But what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
I laughed at love ‘cause I thought it was funny
You came along and moved me honey
I’ve changed my mind, this Girl is fine
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
[Great Balls Of Fire lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Kiss me baby, ooooh feels good
Hold me baby, I’m gonna love you like a lover should
Your fine, so kind
Got to tell this world that your mine mine mine mine
I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I’m real nervous, but it sure is fun
C’mon baby, you’re driving me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire!!
Does ALGORE know about this?

Or KABOOM!
Couldnt have been a comet. Must have been them Fred Flintstone type SUVs!"
It was a Comet, a Mercury Comet what did it.

That’s about right for the Araona Crater, but it’s also very close to when our last ice age ended.
Did comet start deadly cold snap?

Well, he could have “passed”, but most likely for a very swarthy individual with a serious digestive problem when it came to milk and milk byproducts.
