It's also a possibility the first split was unsuccessful and died out like the Neanderthals and the second successful like Cro-Magnon.
There is always a bunch of ways to interpret scant data.
It should be easy enough to prove whether chimp and human eggs/sperm can be mated, in the lab. When Oliver dies they should dissect him and see if the bone/muscle structure is more humanoid, causing his bipedal gait, or he was just mimicking humans so much it became habit.
Mike was not a hoax. He toured the country for a number on months before choking to death on his food. The reason he survived is they didn't cut off his head at the neck as is the normal procedure. They accidentally left part of the head including the the part of the brain that regulates auto functions like breathing.
He wasn't decapitated, just mostly decapitated.
