Reply to comment by GonzoVeritas in TIL that +/- 42k years ago, the “Adam’s Event”, a reversal of Earth’s magnetic poles, may have led to the extinction of mega fauna, Neanderthals, and forced humans into caves as the earth experienced intense periods of cosmic radiation, solar winds, electrical storms, and drastic climate change. by GonzoVeritas

Yep, I screwed that up in the title, autocorrect suggested an apostrophe and I fell for it.

It should be just 'Adams Event' because it's named after him, it's not his event. The researchers named it the ‘Adams Transitional Geomagnetic Event.’
