Y-chromosome “Adam” was not necessarily human

I admit I'm behind alot of you on understanding genetics.
So we have Adam wasn't human, then what was he monkey/Annunaki?
but could it also be that humans are older then they tell us?

Y-chromosome “Adam” was not necessarily human
by Joe Pickrell , January 26, 2014
estimated the time to the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) for the Y tree to be 338,000 years ago. Such an extraordinarily early estimate contradicts all previous estimates in the literature and is over a 100,000 years older than the earliest fossils of anatomically modern humans.

Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve

lol

That's the problem of the naming - when can we call a being as a human. That's not possible to know

Interesting. So it's proto-Homo Sapien?

The fact that Y-dna is so far reduced from X seems to show at some point something very monkeylike raped something very humanlike.

All the age estimates for genes I don't take very seriously. Especially since in modern times things change over much more rapidly. A00 could be many millions of years old with very few changes.

From what I gather neanderthals have y-dna that is child (or even parent I guess) of A00. But I consider them human.

The idea modern humans are 100k years old is also completely busted.

Somewhere down the line it won't be human so it's not that surprising.
