If not an impactor event, then what cleared away the miles high ice sheets from the North American landmass in such a short period, and then explain how the Atlantic Gulf Stream stopped transporting warm waters to the Northern hemisphere at the same time? We have seen meteors crash into Earth in isolated parts of the world which causing huge damage, like Chelasybinsk in Russia a few years ago, and Tunguska back further, so its not hard to imagine something crashing into a giant ice sheet and wreaking havoc globally. Evidence of impactors are all over the Earth, with thousands of others wiped away over time by erosion. It seems that archeologists just cannot accept facts like extraterrestrial impact events can cause planetary catastrophes, despite the evidence of Schumaker-Levy, Yucatan impactor, or modern day events, though significantly smaller scale like Tunguska or Chelasybinsk in more recent times. The archeologists answer seems to be they have no eyewitness account and that everyone who says otherwise is a racist, mysoginistic psuedoscientist. And that's a losing argument.
Thank you. My enthusiasm towards the Clovis Event was sincere. As a historian I needed a piece in my maze, and it fit perfectly. Now I find that it was a provisional piece.

@@shanebutler5787 that is highly debatable. His theories, while being whimsically attractive, seem to have many holes, that are pointed out by unbiased geologists.
I do not know if an extraterrestrial impact occurred near the time of the Younger Dryas. However, the extinction of the megafauna around that time was not caused by an impact. Most people are shocked when I tell them that surface gravity on PART OF the Earth’s surface was increasing from a lower level at that time. My two books ‘Ice Age Extinctions, A New Theory’ and ‘The Gravity Theory of Mass Extinction’ explain how a gravitational gradient around the globe has happened in the past. Briefly, when a large surface mass on the Earth moves to high latitude (e.g., sea water to ice), and therefore closer to the rotational axis of the Earth, something must happen to conserve the angular momentum of the Earth. That something is the offsetting of the Earth’s core elements from centricity which results in a gravitational gradient; lower surface gravity in one longitudinal region and a commensurate increase in surface gravity antipodally. This happened during every glacial period lowering surface gravity in a region. This process reversed during every following interglacial period causing extinctions due to the increased surface gravity. The question is why was it so devastating in the last interglacial period (20K to 14K years ago)? The graph of temperature during this period does show a greater increase in temperature during the final interglacial. However, a graph of the amount of polar ice melted during this and prior interglacial periods would be of value.
Say if multiple fragments of objects hit the earth could that explain the the difference of the objects. I dont know how do say this without Sounding like an idiot, Vulture stone at Gobekli Tepe has carvings of constellations that could only be visible in the sky in the same time period as the stone claims multiple fragments of comets fell from the sky. This research was not conducted by idiots merely a translation of what the stone was saying. Dont send hate if you dont like it then dont say anything
Yea it could, there is an immense amount of evidence that your man is ignoring. The problem with this at the minute is the comet research team are finding that much evidence they are yet to publish all their findings. Credit to them they have come out with some information that is getting the auld science communities knickers in a twist but the evidence is mounting.
well SOMETHING happened. Just because it wasn’t the perfect younger dryas doesn’t mean we should discredit the great exctinction theories. Otherwise we just have to believe people stopped leaving behind archaeological traces for a thousand years or so, just because.
People didn't stop leaving behind archeological evidence. For one; not enough archeology is done here in the states, which is unfortunate. And two; we see the Clovis culture overlap with the folsom culture. Then the folsom culture and other paleo-Indians becoming the dominant peoples.The indicator being clovis didn't just vanish. More likely they were absorbed by the folsom culture. Or killed by them, we don't really know.
What’s more likely is your man’s video is not discussing all the evidence and is also hiding things about a lot of the older findings. Look up the comet research team do your homework and you’ll realise you can’t hide the evidence anymore

..the challenge is, explaining vast numbers of large animals, which had survived numerous previous glacial periods, died out, possibly in months..something big happened.
but not globally. only in certain places. In others the extinctions took place during the glacial maximum, or even earlier. In fact, they time much better with the global expansion of homo sapiens than with any single climate event.
About 75% of the North American Megafauna had already gone extinct by the Younger Dryas. These were Ice Age Mammals and a return to Ice Age conditions would have been an expansion of the range and habitat. They had survived many Ice ages and warm periods. They would have been pushed into smaller and smaller habitat ranges as climate warmed during the Bølling-Allerød interstadial and when Ice Age conditions returned this last time around during the Younger Dryas man had entered the Continent and put even more stress on an already stressed population. An impact makes the least amount of sense as it would need to be very selective. We still have Moose, Elk, Bison, Musk Ox, Caribou, Deer, Bear etc etc etc... The Younger Dryas is simply the last D.O. event of at least 20 that occurred during the last Ice Age. It's not unique and in fact when looking at the climate records it was expected. What is unexpected is what happened after the Younger Dryas.
Good points. It would be interesting to understand why horses went extinct and bison didn't , both being range animals. Was there a re-supply of fauna from Siberia?, when did the land bridge disappear?.. @@swirvinbirds1971
