Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As the gaps are filled, the story is likely to change, but in broad outline, today’s scientists believe that from their beginnings in Africa, the modern humans went first to Asia between 80, 000 and 60, 000 years ago. By 45, 000 years ago, or possibly earlier, they had settled Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and Australia.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first modern humans arrived in India around 65, 000 years ago as part of an Out of Africa migration that populated the entire world ultimately.

Detailed explanation-3: -Though it is unclear when some modern humans first left Africa, evidence shows that these modern humans did not leave Africa until between 60, 000 and 90, 000 years ago. Most likely, a change in climate helped to push them out.

Detailed explanation-4: -Main. Southern Africa has long been considered to be one of the regions in which anatomically modern humans (AMHs) originated. Home to contemporary populations who represent the earliest human lineages, evolutionary time estimates have largely been based on mitochondrial DNA (mitogenomes)1, 6.

Detailed explanation-5: -Abstract. Anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens, AMH) began spreading across Eurasia from Africa and adjacent Southwest Asia about 50, 000–55, 000 years ago (ca. 50–55 ka).
