Watched a Nat Geo programme about the Toba Bottleneck last night, well, I watched part of it!
I gave up eventually as it seemed to be a classical case of a one sided view and raised all the questions that we non-experts raised here in the past.
What finally operated the OFF switch was the 'fact' that humans were near wiped out and Chimps continued to thrive. On what!?

I remember that one.

All the other mammals in the world did okay...like mammoths and HNS. This was a highly selective volcano.

Not half! I couldn't stomach the full programme.
