(Phys.org) —A team of researchers with members from several universities in the U.S. has published a paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, claiming that evidence supporting the notion that the Younger Dryas deep freeze was caused by an extraterrestrial impact or atmospheric explosion, is lacking. They go so far as to say that at this time, there is no real evidence of any such impact at all.
