I don't buy into the flooding of the Black Sea as a source of the flood myths. I have difficulty with a source that is 35,000 years old too. Some scholars say the source flood of the myths is only 4,000 to 5,000 years old and those are not members of the Holocene working group.
The Chinese flood myth seems to be referring to a period of heavy flooding that spanned two generations. That would have nothing to do with the Genesis flood or the Burckle crater event.
I suspect that many of the flood myths were carried to far reaches of the globe by traders and missionaries. Then again, it also seems likely that similar regional flooding events led to similar flood myths. The Genesis flood myth seems to be the same Sumerian flood myth.

Yes I heard the suggestion in some flood myths that seem uncannily Biblical that the story was taken there by people who knew the Bible.
