Reply to comment by Sincerly_ in When it's said 99.9% of human DNA is the same in all humans, is this referring to only coding DNA or both coding and non-coding DNA combined? by PeanutSalsa

Why did this event not also constrict other species?

Because they had time to diverge before it, and our divergence came after it?

It did affect certain animals of course, but we were ran to near extinction. But most of the animals we see today don’t seem like there genetic diversity was affected that much. And yeah, most likely they diverged way before that, even before the super volcano we have had times where we have had extremely low population.
