Scientific evidence in the links below.

In this video, we will talk about a hypothesis that has been hitting the media trying to connect the recent discovery of a crater in Greenland with extinction of human civilizations and megafauna. Here are some facts instead.

More about the crater: http://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/11/eaar8173

An article discrediting some of the "collision" evidence:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4040610/

Possible glaciation explanations:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas#Causes

Extinction event:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_extinction_event

An article discussing this idea in more detail:
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/no-there-wasnt-an-advanced-civilization-12-000-years-ago/

Further scientific proof from most recent research:
Megafauna in Americas and Siberia went extinct at different times:
https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-1-4020-8793-6_2

Widespread fires linked to human activity not asteroids:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19190185

Retesting of samples of nanodiamonds (most recent):
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27391147

Another retest of samples finding no evidence:
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jqs.2914

Australian large animals went extinct much earlier and coincided with arrival of humans:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18695222

No evidence of any nano diamonds:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20805511

Independent report of the impact hypothesis:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19822748

Absence of geochemical signs of impact:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20007789
