Yellowstone is one huge caldera, almost certainly the remains of a large
erupted volcano. This is well-established geological fact.

that reduced the worldwide human population to fewer than a
dozen individuals

Never heard that one before. Fewer than 12 people remaining, around the
entire globe you say? Yeah, right. I doubt any scientist with an actual
clue believes that.

but that event has yet to be proven.

No kidding? I'm shocked.

I've never heard the less then a dozen people left, but one of
those Discovery Channel type shows awhile back was on using DNA
markers to trace how humans have moved around and interbred over
the years. One of the things they found was that at one point,
the human population was drastically reduced to ~10,000 people.
