The Toba Eruption and the Human Bottleneck | Did a Volcano Almost End Us?

Описание: Seventy-four thousand years ago, Earth experienced the largest volcanic eruption in the last two million years. The Toba super volcano in Indonesia exploded with such force that it reshaped the planet, altered the global climate, and may have pushed early humans to the brink of extinction.

In this documentary-style video, we explore the true story of the Toba super eruption, separating myth from modern science. Did this ancient volcano really cause a human population bottleneck? Did it trigger a volcanic winter? And could a super volcano like Toba erupt again?

Using the latest geological, archaeological, and genetic evidence, this video reveals how early humans survived one of Earth’s greatest natural disasters; and what Toba teaches us about the future of our planet.

More specifically, we will discuss what makes a super volcano different from a normal volcano, how powerful the Toba eruption really was (VEI-8 explained), the science behind the human genetic bottleneck theory, new discoveries that challenge the idea of near-human extinction, evidence from ash layers, ice cores, and ancient tools, whether the Toba super volcano could erupt again and what a future super eruption would mean for modern civilisation.

🌍 Why Toba Still Matters Today

Super volcanoes are rare, but their impact is global. Understanding Toba helps scientists better predict volcanic risks, climate effects, and how humanity responds to extreme natural events.

This is not just a story about the past, it’s a warning written into the Earth itself.
