Comets and asteroids are not the only space hazard that threatens the Earth. There is another phenomenon that occurs far more frequently but that has only recently been discovered—the arrival of an intense volley of Galactic cosmic rays, or what is termed a Galactic superwave.(1-4) The most recent time that a major superwave affected the Earth, and the entire solar system, was during the period from about 16,000 to 11,000 years ago. Through its ultimate energizing effect on the Sun, it was responsible for bringing an end to the last ice age. Through these solar effects, the superwave was also responsible for the mass extinction which occurred 12,900 years ago in which 95 percent of the large mammal species on the North American continent were wiped out. Paleontologists agree that this was the worst mass extinction since the demise of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. But its cause had long been a mystery. Excessive hunting by paleolithic tribes cannot account for the 22 genera of birds that also became extinct at that time, nor can hunting explain the widespread slaughter of large and small mammals, not only to the south of the North American ice sheet, but also in the Arctic (Alaska and Siberia), in Europe, and even in South America. The remains of these animals are everywhere found entombed in deposits left by the passage of catastrophic glacial meltwater floods.
