(A certain Biblical 'extinction' event IMO)
It is also interesting that according to this reference the "
Nephila specifically referred to the constellation of Orion, and thus Nephilim to Orion's semi-divine descendants (cf. Anakim from Anak);[10] the implication being that this also is the origin of the Biblical Nephilim."
I make no comment if I (or you) believe in it or not, but it presumably answers the question of the origin of Cain's wife - which is highlighted as a main puzzle by many non-Christians - mostly often offered in open debates on Genesis, evolution, and the biblical origin explanations of the World etc.

Prachett Cosmology is;
