Homo Erectus and the Australasian Tektite Field - Stunning New Scientific Revelations

New Archaeological Revelations About Evolution of Homo Erectus. The Austronesian Tektite Field is a geographically extensive area in Southeast Asia that contains numerous tektites, which are small, irregularly shaped objects of natural glass that are believed to have formed from meteorite impacts. These tektites are thought to have been produced during a major impact event that occurred around 788,000 years ago. The impact event that created the Austronesian Tektite Field would have had significant effects on the environment and on any hominid inhabitants, including Homo erectus such as the famous Peking Man and Java Man, who lived in the region at that time. The strike is thought to be last major impact on Earth by an asteroid. The impact would have caused widespread destruction, including massive wildfires, tsunamis, and a temporary decrease in temperature due to the dust and debris thrown into the atmosphere.
