fortapocalypse writes "Joel Achenbach of the Washington Post writes: "Something dramatic happened about 12,900 years ago, and the continent of North America was never the same. A thriving culture of Paleo-Americans, known as the Clovis people, vanished seemingly overnight. Gone, too, were most of the largest animals: horses, camels, lions, mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats, ground sloths and giant armadillos." While disputing the current hypothesis, NASA's David Morrison admits "They may have discovered something absolutely marvelous and unexplained.""
