The Toba supereruption 74,000 years ago was so massive it may have plunged Earth into years of darkness and cold, leading some scientists to believe humanity nearly went extinct.

Instead of disappearing, some communities adapted with new tools, new survival strategies, and remarkable flexibility. The disaster may not have destroyed humanity — it may have revealed just how tough humans really are.
