could this be related to the younger dryas impact https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesi... https://cometresearchgroup.org/comets-diamonds-mammoths/ im not sure what to think about that, as i just heard of this hypothesis recently. Maybe north america was well inhabited and all the humans got wiped?

I don't think so: the Younger Dryas interlude was well more than 100,000 years after this even took place.

previous research cited in this article says "The oldest widely accepted site for the first Americans dates to just 13,000 years ago." this coincidences well with the 12,800 years ago Younger Dryas event.
