Interesting stuff.
Near the end of the video he mentions
Homo floresiensis as being alive a little as 12,000 years ago.
I'm not sure where he retrieved that number from.

Remains of one of the most recently discovered early human species, Homo floresiensis (nicknamed ‘Hobbit’), have so far only been found on the Island of Flores, Indonesia. The fossils of H. floresiensis date to between about 100,000 and 60,000 years ago, and stone tools made by this species date to between about 190,000 and 50,000 years old.

From what's been said, the Rock Apes are different from the Great Apes (
and Big Foot) in that they are alleged to have tails.
Such an interesting detail.
EDIT:
Found the below.

This hominin was at first considered remarkable for its survival until relatively recent times, initially thought to be only 12,000 years ago.[7] However, more extensive stratigraphic and chronological work has pushed the dating of the most recent evidence of its existence back to 50,000 years ago.[8][9][10] The Homo floresiensis skeletal material is now dated from 60,000 to 100,000 years ago; stone tools recovered alongside the skeletal remains were from archaeological horizons ranging from 50,000 to 190,000 years ago.[1]
