Spotlight, please?
Re: Impact event
#26
My tinkering with that site had come up with a 20 km rock, but yeah. *double checks* Huh. Maybe I mis-entered something, that first time.
Anyway, I figure that the ancestors of the 'civilised' states would've filtered back into the area, rather than living there since before the Jewel impact.

You're right on the omnivore/carrion eater hypothesis for humans precursors to survive - after the end of the Cretaceous, minimal to no purely vegetarian or carnivorous animals appeared to have survived. Unfortunately, the Cretaceous impact killed pretty much everything larger than a housecat/small dog planetwide.
*blinkblink* Including sea life? And, directly killed or just starved out with the dust cloud?
The kind of explosive radiation you'd get in the wake of that would, I think, likely include some strains undergoing a drasic size increase... the hominids of the day might've been small enough for their language-using descendants to drop-kick without trouble. Or they might've been tool-using already, and that could prove a factor. Or, or, or... Look! A Creationist! *points, then starts to sneak away*
