Homo sapiens did not evolve from a single human ancestor or time period, according to research published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution. Rather, early human evolution was “multi-ethnic and multi-cultural” and spanned across the continent over millennia.

This new theory challenges a long-held and widely accepted belief that H. sapiens originated as a single population out of Africa 300,000 years ago.
