Comments by "Bruce Tucker" (@brucetucker4847) on "The Dark Truth of the Genetic Origins of Homo Sapiens" video.
The cradle of the human species is a very different thing from the cradle of civilization. All of this happened tens of thousands of years before anything that can be called civilization.

There weren't any apes in the Americas before anatomically modern humans arrived, so a separate human origin in the Americas is out of the question. Same for Australia and (of course) Antarctica.

@victoriawhite3662 From nothing? They just sprang into existence from primordial ooze? What a ridiculous statement!

@DMac-uv1bl Monkeys. Not apes. Big difference there. New World monkeys split from all Eurasian/African primates 40 million years ago, long before anything remotely resembling the great apes had appeared, and there is zero evidence that anything remotely resembling great apes ever existed in the western hemisphere before modern humans showed up. Which makes since, because if Eurasian/African human ancestors had split off from American human ancestors millions of years ago there would be zero chance that their descendants (us) would be able to interbreed, and the genetic difference between Eurasians/Africans and Native Americans would be much greater than it is. For that matter, there is Neanderthal DNA in Native Americans that couldn't possibly be there if their ancestors hadn't been in Eurasia a few tens of thousands of years ago. And every genetic study I've ever heard of says Native Americans' closest living relatives are in Siberia.

@johnbaldwin2948 They all interbreed with no difficulty, so they are the same species.

@johnbaldwin2948 Many anthropologists say that they are subspecies and not a different species for that very reason. And there is FAR more difference between Neanderthal and Denisovan DNA and Homo sapiens DNA than there is between any two humans alive today.
