And I thought it was global warming cause by climate change - got all the buzz phrases in one sentence.
The species Albertus Goreasaurus was wiped out by this catastrophe too, but its descendants live to this day.
Yawn. More worthless speculation masquerading a science. Gotta publish, gotta publish.... even if it’s pure conjecture.
I can make stuff up too. Mine is more interesting. How’s this? The mammoths were wiped out by.... Bush!!
A minor correction, and I'm sure we're still missing a few more buzzwords. :)
Damn, beat me to it by a nano second!
Of course the Earth priests and priestesses will never read a piece of research like this.
The extinctions were already a hotly debated event with political scientists split between two theories. The leading theory is that illegal immigrants drove the U.S. Republic into extinction soon after arriving in North America, but some political scientists think political upheaval as the U.S. warmed up from the 2007 riots was the killer. Others think it was more of a one-two punch with illegal immigration weakening the U.S. population and Senators delivering the final blow.
Again I apologize.
Guess that's why we don't have horses, camels and mastadons (whatever those are) today.
Did comet start deadly cold snap?

Keller has found evidence that much larger impacts did not cause any major extinctions. According to her, even the asteroid that left a massive crater on the Yucatan Peninsula known as Chicxulub and is thought to have killed off the dinosaurs did not actually cause their extinction.Keller is full of it.

We’re gonna’ have to find Cheney’s Commet-O-Matic Machine and destroy it before the Republicans start using that with their Hurricane-O-Matic Machine!

Mammoths were reported in Canada 400 years ago, and the youngest recovered carcass (Alaska) is about 4000 years old.
There may have been horses in America before the Spaniards introduced them. Some Natives have been reported to be riding horses already by then.
The extinction seems a little too selective yet widespread to be caused by a single impact event.
