Homo sapiens (red) Expansion of early modern humans from Africa through the Near East. In paleoanthropology, the recent African origin of modern humans or the "Out of Africa" theory (OOA) [a] is the mainstream academic [1] [2] [3] model of the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens).
There is some evidence that modern humans left Africa at least 125,000 years ago using two different routes: through the Nile Valley, the Sinai Peninsula and the Levant (Qafzeh Cave: 120,000–100,000 years ago); and a second route through the present-day Bab-el-Mandeb Strait on the Red Sea (at that time, with a much lower sea level and ...
Homo sapiens emerges in Africa before about 0.3 Ma from a lineage closely related to early H. heidelbergensis. [29] The first wave of "Out of Africa II and "earliest presence of H. sapiens in West Asia, may date to between .3 and 0.2 Ma, [29] and ascertained for 0.13 Ma. [30]

The African diaspora is believed to have begun some 50,000 years ago, long enough for many changes to have occurred in humans remaining in Africa. The genetic trends reported involve humans who left Africa, and their genetic histories.
Homo sapiens had left Africa about 70-50,000 years ago, [3] [4] [5] and between 30,000-15,000 years ago migrated back from the Middle East into Northern Africa. About 3,000 years ago, [ 6 ] [ 7 ] or already earlier between 6,000-5,000 years ago, [ 8 ] farmers from Anatolia and the Near East migrated into the Horn of Africa .

H. erectus is the first known species to develop control of fire, by about 1.5 Ma. H. erectus later migrates throughout Eurasia, reaching Southeast Asia by 0.7 Ma. It is described in a number of subspecies. [38] Early humans were social and initially scavenged, before becoming active hunters.
