Comes complete with a very nice staging of the Mt Toba eruption.

a very nice staging of the Mt Toba eruption.

yes, very nice.

i was going to write
"...if the coast-lines had altered
to illustrate the oscillating sea-level.
many of those routes (and cities)
are under four-hundred feet of salt-water, now."

as i was watching the animation
for the fourth or fifth time,
i noticed that he had "colored outside of the lines"
in some frames. in fact,
illustrating the altering continental shores.

but, not the interior water-bodies.
the mediterranean sea is not shown as reduced
or as a rivered valley - neither is the black or caspian sea.

north america, central asia and the sahara
are not shown with great lakes.
the glacial-melt lakes (and their dessication)
were important factors in human migrations
and the consequent impingments.

the "additional content" button,
between the "play" and "reverse" buttons,
offered a lot of information.
i did not see, in there,
an explication of the beneficent environment
of the equatorial continental-shelf during the ice age
and the lack of advancement by the resident genomes.

quite a contrast to those that were winnowed
by the interior of the eur-asian land-mass.
