@signoguns 26:30 and he doubles down on this at 27:20 claiming Denisovans also were found in Africa, then migrated out of Africa along with the Neanderthals! I am fairly certain the consensus view it was homo-Heidelbergensis.? or maybe even homo-Erectus? ... or some other yet to be discovered lineage, that split and migrated out of Africa and then later evolved to Neanderthals and Denisovans (with what is now known from genetic studies, quite a fair bit of gene drift between populations), but no populations of Neanderthals or Denisovans in Africa, at least no fossils found there at all. Only Earlier forms, and the line that ultimately became modern human.

@redddbaron

@signoguns I used to think this too, and errors are one thing (we all make mistakes); but here it seems he doesn't really understand it well at all, because he doubles and even triples down on that error repeatedly. It's not just that he misspoke, he has a fundamental problem understanding how even evolution works and why the populations diverged!! The population that migrated out of Africa was almost certainly exactly the same as the population remaining in Africa, and NOT Neanderthals or Denisovans. Only after migrating out, and becoming isolated from the populations in Africa, did they start diverging and eventually evolve into Neanderthals and Denisovans. Without that isolation and evolution to become fit in a new environment, Neanderthals and Denisovans would not have existed at all.

This documentary is very well researched. Rather than perpetuate confirmation biases regarding history(and our own culturally preconceived notions of it), it offers a range of dates of known evidence. I respect the reporter's writing style. Fascinating subject material, especially with including natural history with human history(as they aren't separate, but often are reported as such). Also the reporting of the botanical spread of the Joshua Tree due to the Shasta Sloth. This shows a rather significant understanding of environmental succession. Great work!
