Roughly 200,000 years ago humans migrated from the East Africa Rift area into different parts of Africa. At around 60,000 ago humans migrated out of Africa to the rest of the world, making it to the tip of South America about 10,000 years ago.
The following is based mainly on andaman.org. Much of it is guesswork based on what little we know: 100,000 years ago: The north is covered in ice (the grey regions in the maps below). There are three species of man: Home erectus in Africa and Eurasia Neanderthals in West Eurasia Homo sapiens in eastern Africa…

Humans moving out of Africa for the first time went to the Arabian peninsula and new research has found that this happened 100,000 years earlier than previously thought.
The period of time when anatomically modern humans first appeared in a particular region is always hotly debated amongst scientists. In western Europe, the contested region is the Iberian Peninsula, considered the last region to be occupied by modern humans as they spread throughout Eurasia.
The Dental Anthropology Group of the Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana (CENIEH), in collaboration with the paleoanthropologist Amélie Vialet of the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) in Paris, has just published a detailed external and internal study of the molars in the mandible from the French site of Montmaurin-La Niche in the Journal of Human Evolution, whose results strengthen the hypothesis that the settlement of Europe could have been the result of several waves of migration at different times by a common source population. Montmaurin-La Niche mandible [Credit: M. Martínez de Pinillos] The aim in this paper, led by the researchers Marina Martínez de Pinillos (CENIEH) and Laura Martín-Francés (CENIEH and PACEA-University of Bordeaux), is to shed light on the origin of the Neanderthals. The latest data obtained from paleontological and geomorphological studies place the Montmaurin-La Niche mandible in a chronologically intermediate position between the fossils of the Middle Pleistocene and the Neanderthals. The micro-computed axial tomography (microCT) technique has enabled the molars in this mandible to be compared with the external and internal structures of over 400 other molars from the European, Asian and African Pleistocene and Holocene. This exhaustive metric and morphological analysis has revealed that, while the mandible is more closely related to African and Eurasian populations from the Early and Middle Pleistocene, the enamel and dentine morphology and pulp cavity proportions are similar to those in Neanderthals.

Martínez de Pinillos] "Nevertheless, the absolute and relative enamel thickness values (2-D and 3-D) show greater affinity with those exhibited by certain Early Pleistocene hominins," says Martínez de Pinillos. Over recent decades, finds of human fossil remains from the European Middle Pleistocene have prompted the debate on the evolutionary scenario of the genus Homo on that continent to be reopened. "The great variability we find among the European Middle Pleistocene fossils cannot be ignored in studying human evolution on our continent," says Martín-Francés. This variability in European Middle Pleistocene populations could indicate different migrations at different times and/or fragmentation of the population, thought it might also be due to possible hybridization between residents and new settlers.

Climate change is propelling enormous human migrations as it transforms global agriculture and remakes the world order — and no country stands to gain more than Russia.
Europe has long been a melting pot of human phenotypes, shaped by millennia of migrations, conquests, and interactions between different populations. Anthropologically, several distinct types have been identified across the continent, each characterized by unique physical features and genetic backgrounds.

Solar exposition, which affects the amount of melanin in human skin, led to the development of distinct racial categories throughout the world. In more solar-exposed equatorial regions, darker skin tones allowed for the filtering of harmful ultraviolet rays from the sun, while less-exposed artic regions allow for better absoption of sunlight and Vitamin D production by the skin. Human migrations in the past centuries have created a less racially-homogeneous world.
