Migration And Early Human

The expansion of Homo erectus was followed by that of Homo sapiens. H. sapiens reached the Near East around 70 millennia ago. From the Near East, these populations spread east to South Asia by 50 millennia ago, and on to Australia by 40 millennia ago (for the first time Homo sapiens reached territory never reached by Homo erectus). Europe was reached by Homo sapiens some 40 millennia ago. East Asia was reached by 30 millennia ago. The date of migration to North America is disputed; it may have taken place around 30 millennia ago, or only considerably later, around 14 millennia ago.
