Gerry Reinhart-Waller:
Hypothesis sounds doable especially since a dried up sea produces lots
of salt -- a huge salt lick that both animals and humans could "sniff"
out. What would be the objections to this hypothesis since the geology
seems to be in place?

Mark Odegard:
"Hypothesis" is the wrong word. The transgression of the Mediterranean
into the Black Sea ca 5500 BCE is a proven fact of Earth history, as
proven as the drying up of the Med itself, and the breaking through of
the Atlantic at Gibralter some 6,000,000 years ago. One of Ryan and
Pitman were on the team that proved the Gibralter event.

Gerry: Who was responsible for proving the transgression of the
Mediterranean into the Black Sea?
