ADMIN

It supervolcanic eruption reduced the global human population ro a few thousand indivisuals. Some estimation put it at <1000.

The genus Homo never knew the kinds of extinctions like the KT event, Permian, or Siberian traps.

The KT evolved dinosaurs, which did NOT die out, but reduced greatly in size and became mobile enough through flight to not only colonize globally, but both escape any geologic threat, and also outspeed and outmanuver food prey.

Birds are dinosaurs.
