What do you make of the cataclysms that happened in the late Pleistocene (Younger Dryas) and what implications did these events have for human populations? How severe was Meltwater Pulse 1B (the great deluge?) 11600 years ago in your opinion?

Are you sure it predated civilizations? Couldn't the cataclysms been so severe that it would have wiped out most proof of sophisticated civilizations except for stuff like Göbekli Tepe and other megalithic stone work?
