The river delta analogy is a partiucluarly bad one. Especially given modern humans’ stated 99.9% genetic commonality, in fact, the analogy has it 180° off base, with many and varied streams and tributaries forming the modern single river system.
If one is going to compare modern human diversity (which again has remakably small 99.9% similarity) with a river delta, then comparing the genetic pool that preceded it, and was composed of not just one, but a mutitude of totally different species to a river, even a “braided series of streams” simply makes no sense.
