Description
Geologist Randall Carlson and researcher Ben Van Kerkwyk join Danny Jones to explore ancient earth's most violent catastrophes. They discuss impacts, floods, and firestorms. In their account, such events smashed early human civilization and were remembered worldwide as myth.
Randall Carlson has argued for decades that a comet strike reset human history at the end of the last ice age. Mainstream geology has partly warmed to that claim and partly resisted it. Van Kerkwyk adds the field evidence from sites they have visited together. Jones plays the informed amateur, asking for the strongest proofs. The episode is a seminar in catastrophism from its leading popularizers. Listeners can follow the geological argument in detail and judge where it converges with, and where it departs from, the textbooks.
