Quote:Toba catastrophe says nothing about whether there were other populations of the HSS, HNS, or Homo Erectus on the earth at the time, or how they were effected by Toba
Exactly...it says nothing and there is no evidence suggesting that HNS suffered similar devastation. We are constantly bombarded with disaster scenarios from nuclear winters due to asteroids or volcanoes but they are general in their effect and threaten lots of species. Why Toba would only effect HSS defies explanation.
