In fact, more simply the geological samples taken from the ground of
the Black Sea show a drastic change of fauna from sweet water fauna
to sea water fauna, estimated to have occured 7500 BC. A report
appeared recently in Liberation (28th September 2000) and other
reports in the same newspaper about geological research in the Black
Sea were featured in 1999 and 1998 (you may search Liberation's
database with the name of the researcher Gilles Lericolais)
I add the link for the last paper below:

The american researcher Bil Ryan published a book about this
hypothesis last year and the gathered scientific evidence is in
submission in Science.
