"Think of the civilizations or the ruins thereof that were covered with water when the ocean entered the Black Sea. The Black sea gained something like 300' in depth in a very short time."

Yup. Ryan & Pittman, in their book, Noah's Flood, estimate that after the break-through, the water of the whole sea rose at the rate of one foot per day.
Most inhabitants would have been able to walk away with most of their animals and what-ever they could carry with them.
They think these hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of refugees streamed up the river valleys and spread farming and the Indo-European language all across Europe.

I've tried to connect these refugees to the 4,000 year old Caucasian mummies found in the Chinese desert. Some have even speculated that they are the same people who became the Ainu in ancient Japan (10K remain today) that replaced the previous Caucasian featured people there known as the Jomon.
BTW, the present day Ainu are the hairiest humans on earth.

I didn't know that about the Ainu! Due to my fascination with ancient migratory routes, I find this very interesting. I wonder if there's been any DNA tests and other research to see if there's a link between them and the following people?

"Hypertrichosis is the general name for a group of conditions characterised by either localised or generalised excess hair. Its most extreme form is 'congenital generalised hypertrichosis' or 'hypertrichosis universalis', which medical researchers have traced it to a genetic problem which affects only one extended family in rural Mexico. [snip] ... Many of them seem to come from China, for some unknown reason." [That certainly fits with YOUR theory, doesn't it!!]

Although some might make a connection to Bigfoot in the following article, maybe not. It's about giant, cannabilistic, hairy man-beasts from Native American mythology (maybe THEY are the ones who ate those people that's causing such a controversy in Archaeological/NA circles - and since the scat at the digs is "human", perhaps the mythological creatures were actually hairy men and not beasts.):
