The survivors are coming together in small groups after the meteor near miss that caused the Earth's Plates to shift and caused one of the biggest extinction events in Earth's history. This is not a random event. If the meteors close pass hadn't caused it something else would have caused it. Extinction events occur at a background rate of about 0.1 to 1 species per 10,000 species every 100 years, with mass extinction events happening much less frequently, approximately every 50 to 100 million years., the last one was 11,000 years ago.
