Our species evolved in Africa 200,000 years ago. We didn't move out until 100,000 years ago, and there were several waves. The oldest evidence of species outside of Africa was in Europe about 40,000 years ago, and in Australia 50,000 years ago.

There is so much being discovered about human origins. Five years ago, the oldest fossils of hominids were four and a half million years old. There has been a series of discoveries that pushed fossils back to six or seven million years old, which adds a couple of years to evolution history.
