Regarding the chromosome fusion, IIRC the smoking gun isn’t the “fusion” per se, it’s how it was done. As in, the nucleotide sequences aren’t point/missense/deletions. It looks extremely deliberate. A la the furin cleavage site sequence in Covid (if you buy into that)
was interesting
There was mention that other species have what appears to be fused chromosomes
They also mention that the out of africa theory may be wrong and they have found evidence of man in Europe that predates the Africa evidence.
