Common genes do not imply interbreeding.

In biology they do - your YT thingy is just a hypothesis and garbage.
You believe our sharing half our genes with bananas comes from humans doing sex with bananas??

Same could be said about worms - both of which are logical fallacies. But have it your way, tin foil hats are cheap.
1 His fur while ice ages were happening [CLOTHING]
2 Nearly all of his night visiion while surrounded by large carnivores that could all see quite nicely in the dark [SHELTER (at night)]
3 Nearly all of his sense of smell while trying to make it as a land prey animal [TRAPS & WEAPONS]
4 Nearly all of his musculature, in an age when muscle mattered [TOOLS]
Hominids did not wear clothing; with thick fur, they did not need clothing. So how did they get from that to no fur and having to have needles and thread???
Needles and thread, in the modern sense? No.
But tanning hides and utilizing the coats of fur from your game is not only not far-fretched, it’s very likely.
Your survival depends on not wasting anything from your kill. Bone marrow took a lot of work to get to, but very worth the effort. Teeth, hooves, bones, etc. could all be (re?)purposed as tools, and if not, were even kept for adornment.
Even if you have a nice personal coat of hair, are you telling me you wouldn’t wear some animal furrs when it’s freezing out?
Maybe read a book sometime? Education is a good thing.
Write an intelligent response to something I’ve posted and I will reply to it. You haven’t done that.
“Hominids did not wear clothing; with thick fur, they did not need clothing. So how did they get from that to no fur and having to have needles and thread???”
Whenever a feature disappears it is because that not having that feature became advantageous. For example, if the climate became warmer or the hominids migrated to a warmer area, bare skin would be more efficient for cooling. Full-body sweating, as we do, doesn’t work well when you are completely covered by fur.
There is one thing that humans have done for which lack of fur would be an advantage: using fire, particularly in open/windy areas. That is, an incident which might cause a minor burn to a human could easily light a neandewrthal or some other hominid up like a torch and fry him. Humans were designed to use fire, that had nothing to do with evolution or any other kind of junk science.
I agree that’s another advantage of going furless but unlikely that threat was pervasive enough to be a factor in natural selection.
It was a design feature, and not anything involving any kind of selection, natural or otherwise.
Humans continue to evolve to this day and the natural selection mechanism works to this day. In fact, there’s no way you could stop it except to go to 100% artificial insemination and gestation (which I would be totally against).
I guess you don’t eat shellfish either?
