The eruption of Lake Toba 74,000 years ago kills the giant mammals in prehistoric Asia. The lava and ash starts in Sumatra, but soon spreads to the rest of the world, driving Elasmotheriums, Sumatran leopards, Asian pumas, European cave lions, Gigantopithecus, and Stegodons to extinction. Our ancestors, the earliest Homo sapiens, also nearly become extinct. However, humans manage to survive, although they do suffer a genetic bottleneck in their population. However, the extinction of all of these other creatures then paves the way for new species, such as the woolly mammoth, to replace them. <br /> <br />To see lot more of my documentaries videos online, Please visit - www.youtube.com/user/j0hnl0cker <br />or go to the main documentary website @ http://johnlocker.com/home/search/qs?searchkey=armageddon
