seems to me then that we were not two separate species at 6 mya. When
DID we pop up with an extra two chromosomes anyway?!?


Now that's a good question.

It's 2 less, not 2 more, & I think the geneticists have identified not only
which 2 chromosomes became fused together, but where (on the genome), & even
a reasonable stab at when.

That's purely based on tidbits I've picked up on SAP over the years though,
so not necessarily information to be relied on... :-)
