- ddeck 12y agoNot sure why you're being down voted without comment since you directly answered the parents question with broadly accurate information: Anatomically modern humans first appear in the fossil record in Africa about 195,000 years ago (see Omo remains), and studies of molecular biology give evidence that the approximate time of divergence from the common ancestor of all modern human populations was 200,000 years [1] Migration out of Africa is estimated at around 125000 years ago for modern humans.
