Doomed to Fail

Ep 38: Volcanoes Pt 1 - Mt. Toba's Echo: Journey into Earth's Cataclysmic Past


Listen Later

Volcanoes Part 1! Way, way, way back - approx 74,000 years ago, Humans and human-like species were enjoying their time on earth with clear skies when Mt. Toba erupted in Indonesia. The blast kicked off a thousand-year ice age and killed countless animals and vegetation. In the end, only the strong survived - and we are all descendants of about 2,000 people (who were all descended from the same woman in Africa from about 200k years ago) and a handful of Neanderthals.

 

This is a story of DNA, fossils, carbon dating, and how little we know about our time on Earth.

 

Also, James Watson of DNA is STILL ALIVE as of this recording - he’s 95.

 

Hilarious pics from Midjourney AI and some from the creative commons.
