Also about 4,500 years ago because of flooding.

It was the SUV’s; (vide Flintstones).

Bush’s Fault.

[rednesss]

I thought this was caused by the Toba volcano eruption.

[Hacklehead]

Floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, volcanos, tsunamis; the earth has been trying to kill us for >100,000 years. It’s time we returned the favor.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

There were was a housing bubble and a rice shortage at the time.

[American Quilter]

Gee, how did such a tiny group of humans manage to cause a worldwide drought?

[GingisK]

A little setback now and then tends to cull the herd. We’re overdue.

[gridlock]

This is a green weenie’s fantasy come true.

[Question Liberal Authority]

So we were an endangered species due to global climate change. I say we put humans on the Endangered Species List. Then it will be illegal to kill humans in their embryonic form.

[Resolute Conservative]

Yep.

Study: Humans Almost Went Extinct 70,000 Years Ago

Should have called GEICO.

[Always Right]

The human population at that time was reduced to small isolated groups in Africa, apparently because of drought, according to an analysis released Thursday.

Does this mean we should all put "African-Americans" down as our race????

[LiteKeeper]

Agreed!

[rockinqsranch]

“The human population at that time was reduced to small isolated groups in Africa, apparently because of drought,.....”

Natural causes rather than Dem/Leftist-Greenie induced causes.

[BigCinBigD]

That must be why to this day. You cant get good help at 7-11.

[toddlintown]

There’s a culling going on in Chicago.

Paleontologist Meave Leakey, a Genographic adviser, commented: "Who would have thought that as recently as 70,000 years ago, extremes of climate had reduced our population to such small numbers that we were on the very edge of extinction?"

What a dumbass. Hard to believe he's/she's a grandson/daughter of Louis Leaky. Global Warming garbage stuffed into what was to be a science article.

[chilepepper]

This is not "news" by any means.

What is remarkable are some of the theories of how the humans survived this period. One very famous theory is that humans moved to the litoral zones (e.g. - the seashore) and became semi-aquatic fish catchers for thousands of years, and in the process started to lose much of their body hair and become more 'streamlined' heading in the same evolutionary direction as the dolphins.

[weegee]

Yeah but that was Wrath of God.
