A very good book to read, Noah's Flood (Ryan & Pittman)

A lot of things were going on during that period as the Ice Age was ending (winding down), no doubt a lot of climate/weather changes, ocean current changes and flooding everywhere. I would also expect an increase in volcanic activity because of the 'weight' changes from all the ice melt. Many areas of the world are still rising from the relief from the weight of the miles thick ice.

This would partially explain my ancestor's (Krakatoa Muttly) aversion to ice cubes.

Well...having once been accidentally locked in a meat locker (innocently Cat-proofing it, I assure you) may also have something to do with it, but your post is food for thought.

Hmmmm....food....
