The BS meter just got pegged on that one. How would small groups of humans living across a large continent find eachother to “re-unite” 70K years ago? Cell phones??

“re-unite” 70K years

That is fairly close to 2,500 generations. Just how much genetic drift in these small populations would that involve? Would they even recognize each other as 'human'?

Probably not long enough for speciation, maybe; but not something to 'breed' peace & harmony?
