toba               Krakatoa                numa-numa

The Toba Eruption 74000 years ago- Some scientists believe the eruption triggered a catastrophic volcanic winter that caused a huge wave of extinctions. The eruption  threw so much ash and soot into the air that sunlight couldn't reach the surface, causing crops to fail for years. Genetic evidence also suggests a steep drop in the human population around this time, possibly resulting in a surviving population of only 3,000–10,000 individuals.
