Talk:Clovis comet

Although this article has a sexier name, it should be merged with Younger Dryas impact event, with both article titles directing to it. Twalls (talk) 02:50, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

As a non-expert I would agree, but it would mean a proper merging of the information. I found quite a few refs when I searched for Clovis comet. --triwbe (talk) 22:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Carolina Bays
I think the info on the Carolina bays merits to be reinserted, albeit with better references. Twalls (talk) 19:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Paleoindian demography and the extraterrestrial impact hypothesis
Also, the recent study doesn't 'refute' the ET impact hypothesis; it merely looks at one aspect of evidence we have for population (number/distribution of dated occupation sites) and concludes there seems to be no net decline in the period surrounding the impact event. Given the sparse amount of data from that time period to begin with, I would tend to think the samples used only provide a partial picture. Further, the study summary does not mention megafauna extinctions and changes in socio-cultural patterns, which did occur at the time of hypothesized impact (although the main body might, which I would like to see). Anyhow, thanks for including it, as it's a good addition. Twalls (talk) 20:17, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
