Researchers led by Richard Firestone claimed that these impacts caused a sudden cooling, contributed to the demise of large Pleistocene mammals and humans, and prompted a turn toward agriculture in Eurasia, potentially influencing the development of civilization and even the outlines of current nation-states.

Despite mainstream scientific skepticism, the theory continues to gain momentum, with claims that the impact altered the course of history and even influenced the outlines of current nation-states.
