Lake Toba’s Supervolcano Makes Yellowstone Look Tame

Imagine living through one of the most massive volcanic eruptions in history—Toba’s supereruption, about 74,000 years ago, was exactly that. For our ancient relatives, it was like the world turned upside down, with ash blanketing the sky and temperatures plummeting. The eruption created a "volcanic winter" that likely made food scarce and survival incredibly tough. Some scientists believe this event may have even pushed our ancestors to the brink of extinction. But those who survived became more resilient, adapting to the harsh conditions. It was a true test of endurance, shaping the course of human evolution.
