The Toba Catastrophe: When humanity almost went extinct

Did you know that 74,000 years ago, humanity almost went extinct? 🌋🌍

It is called the Toba Catastrophe, a moment in prehistory when the entire human race nearly vanished from the face of the Earth. Every person alive today—all 8 billion of us—is a descendant of a tiny group of survivors who made it through a decade of darkness.

In this video, we explore the "super-eruption" that triggered a global crisis and how it left a permanent mark on our DNA.

🔥 The Ticking Time Bomb
We dive into the science of the eruption that changed the course of human history:

The Sumatra Super-Eruption: Discover the scale of the Toba explosion, a volcanic event that dwarfed anything in recorded human history.

The Volcanic Winter: How massive amounts of ash and sulfur blocked out the sun, plunging the planet into a decade-long freeze and killing off vital food sources.

The Genetic Bottleneck: Learn why scientists believe the human population crashed to as few as 1,000 to 10,000 breeding pairs.

A Shared History: Why this event explains the incredible genetic similarity between all humans today, regardless of where we live.
