how likely is it that an intelligent entity that precedes humanity came along and decided to chose chimpanzees to breed with?
anybody telling you they know what happened before the time we had written records are selling you something.
Right, so plate tectonics didn't happen because nobody wrote it down when America and Africa gradually separated? Supernovas didn't happen in the past because even though we can see the remains, nobody wrote it down thousands of years ago? (except for when they did, as for SN 1054)
Point is media and charlatans will use these research, add their own bs & start unscientific fads, racial theories or paleo diet sort of scams.
That's the concerning part - research can go on, present new info etc that's welcome.
