I've got an impact nut over at Archaeologica. According to him virtually every event in human history results from a rock hitting the earth.
The only problem is that in an age before satellite communications if you are close enough to where an impactor lands you are going to be killed which will seriously limit your ability to say "hey...we just got hit by a space rock."
If you are far enough away you will look up and say "hey, did you hear something?"
