lets just say that its trajectory is changed in such a way so that it slams into and explodes over Antarctica.
how would this the history of the Americas on the whole?

this is indeed what i was referring to.
i was thinking that the comet doesn't destroy the Clovis people in the Americas. however, the melted ice from Antarctica could more or less instantly vaporize and rain down over the entire world. since there is little to no plant life on Antarctica at this time (im assuming) there would be very little widespread fires. and as such, no soot to block out the sun or land on the ice-sheets to increase their melting speed (for one, the Antarctic would have very little ice left). so the water level would rise and disrupt the atlantic currents, causing an ice age. this would probably force much of the water to freeze up in that Arctic like in OTL. so the peoples of the Old world could still come over to the Americas. the ice age would start sooner than in OTL. and as such, the Asiatic peoples may not be able to come over. the resources of the americas would possibly be stripped sooner, and civilization in the Americas would begin much much sooner than they Mayan...probably as far back as 1500 BC for the first civilization

the inca civilization was very sheltered. and in OTL the majority of the natives in South America supposedly didn't reach there until the siberians crossed over Beringa
lol. no big. should this become a TL?
im not sure how to start a TL... help?
