You can apply the same logic to humans and our primate ancestors. So who extracted the small subpopulation of apes and bred them into humans?

I thought it was funny they called it a 47-million-year-old HUMAN ancestor, and then claimed that humans have only been around a few million years.
All my ancestors were humans. It’s what the word means. Nobody, even believers in evolution, claim that one-celled organisms are their great-great-great-great-grandparents.

So who extracted the small subpopulation of apes and bred them into humans? Well, certainly no conscious entity needed to, if that's what you're getting at. A river or mountain range, for example, could have divided an existing population into two geographically isolated populations, and each of the new populations could have changed according to its own environmental demands.
