74,000 years ago, the Earth faced one of the deadliest natural disasters in history — the Toba supereruption in Indonesia. This colossal blast was over 10,000 times bigger than Mount St. Helens and nearly pushed humans to extinction. Yet, instead of vanishing, our ancestors adapted, innovated, and survived against impossible odds.
Archaeologists today study microscopic volcanic glass called cryptotephra to uncover how humans lived through the darkness. The evidence reveals a story not of collapse, but of resilience — proving that even in the face of global catastrophe, humanity’s greatest strength has always been adaptability.
Discover how a disaster that should have ended us, instead shaped our survival.
