Out of curiosity, when did the asteroid extinction theory cement as the scientific consensus?
I seem to recall that in my childhood (1980s, Canadian elementary schools) it was still treated as only one of several competing explanations, but now it’s pretty much an accepted fact.
Which makes sense given all the evidence, but I still have this odd sensation making me feel like I missed the memo! Am I the only one who feels this way?
