Ancient Humans Dodged Super-Eruption? The Toba volcanic eruption 74,000 years ago -- much more destructive than the Mount St. Helens eruption -- may have drastically altered Earth's climate. New research suggests humans were flexible enough to survive these changes. mark for My Articles similar articles
