The science is changing rapidly. Here's the latest:

Until now, theories held that modern humans spread from Africa 100,000 years ago. New data, however, suggest that their migration occurred only 50,000 to 60,000 years ago, explains anthropologist Ted Goebel, at Texas A&M. Additionally, he believes the spread of modern humans in eastern Europe and Russia occurred earlier than previously thought.
