This must have been fairly rough for humans worldwide. Every discovery such as this sheds light on the particular circumstances surrounding civilizations and major human migrations.
This monster exploded underwater. More than ash and pumice threatened the seas in a great arc. It had to be a seemingly terminal event for the environment to any living human being.
I can't stress enough the possible and probable reoccurrence of such an episode at any time. just when it couldn't get any worse, isn't that the human experience?
I'm careless in not being engaged with the reality of this impending situation. I have my life also, and the concerns of everyday living, but what I am espousing is just as real as any personal reality.

Still, you say "must have." That's not recorded. Sure, we can date the eruption. And yes, it definitely affected humans living at the time. But where is the evidence? That's not what recorded history means.

Usually I avoid misleading headlines but I had to skim the article to see if it was a syntax error or if there was actual evidence that the eruption was witnessed a d recorded by humans.

Maybe instead of "skimming" the article, you could try "reading" it.

Who said recorded history? And not "must have", they did. Education and reading history/archeology can aid you in forming a coherent comment instead of looking troll-like.
