74,000 years ago, Earth shook with the force of a supervolcano — the Toba eruption in present-day Indonesia. It spewed 2,800 km³ of ash, darkened skies, cooled the planet, and poisoned the land. For decades, scientists believed it nearly drove humans to extinction.<br /><br />But new evidence tells a different story...<br /><br />From South Africa to India, our ancestors didn’t vanish — they adapted. New tools, creative diets, and survival strategies helped them not only endure but thrive in the aftermath.<br /><br />Through microscopic traces of volcanic ash called cryptotephra, archaeologists have uncovered proof of human resilience in the face of nature’s most violent force.<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA361777<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
