Here is an article about a double-nosed dog. Amusing, yes, but what's interesting to Portal readers is information in the second- and third- and fourth-to-last paragraphs:
"The Scientific Exploration Society was in Bolivia to investigate a shallow crater about five miles in width.
According to Colonel Blashford-Snell, he has now found evidence that this was caused by a giant meteorite, which struck the Bolivian Amazon Basin up to 30,000 years ago.
He says he has found evidence of human habitation within 50 miles of the blast zone, and believes these people were wiped out as a result of the meteor's impact. "
Bear in mind, many archaeologists are still saying that the first people in the Americas were people who came over the Bering land bridge 12,000 years ago.
It's called burying the lead.
