Kygorski is correct. Earlier forms of humans (Homo erectus, for example) spread out of Africa long before modern humans evolved. The earliest modern humans (Homo sapiens) evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago and migrated out to the rest of the world from there. There is still some debate whether or not early Homo sapiens mated with other related humans (neanderthals for example) or not. Neanderthals were in Europe when modern Homo sapiens arrived there.

I guess people are still doing interesting studies on all sorts of creatures. My interesting studies traces my beginning back to a place in Kuwait named The Garden of Eden. After that it was Lancashire, England and Wales, and now The United States of America.

Did the study you refer to mention anything about homo sapien sapiens?

It does not. The words are, "it is believed that the first Homo sapiens were in Africa about 50,000 years ago. Vessels and tools were found in caves and it is thought that they lived in caves near water in order to have a food supply." The words IT IS BELIEVED is open to all kinds of interpretation and wrong information since it gives no clear proof it is true. For instance, if the world was created millions of years ago, could men not have migrated to Africa from other countries as their tribes increased and spread out? Also, part of those people could have been desert nomads from surrounding countries.
