I have been subscribed to and watching Ben G Thomas' YouTube channel for years now, but this newest video he made seems rather far fetched indeed.

African populations of Neanderthals? @26:30 ????? Come again? That's a claim that certainly needs heavily supported since the general consensus is that Neanderthals never had any populations in Africa! Where is the evidence for this bold claim? At first I just thought he misspoke accidently saying the wrong continent. But then he doubled down at @27:20 claiming by this time Neanderthals migrated out of Africa and spread to Eurasia! What???? Neanderthals originated in Africa and migrated to Eurasia? :jaw-dropp Come again again???? Where is this evidence???? Then again a third bold claim that I am almost certain has no evidence at all: Denisovans migrated out of Africa at about the same time as Neanderthals????? WOW talk about pure speculation! Who is the "we" in the claim he makes about "we think"???? I can't even find anyone even remotely making claims anywhere close to this, so where is this controversy he talks about in the scientific literature?
I have always been impressed with this channel, but maybe naively? Because this certainly sounds almost as ridiculous as any YEC argument to be!
Is there anyone here that can support his claims at all?
