Summary
Humans evolved in Africa about 150,000 years ago.
An expansion within Africa led to an exodus out of Africa 60,000 years ago.
The group leaving Africa was very small: only two female lineages, M and N, have survived in non-Africans today.
Descendant founder populations settled Australia, Eurasia and America during windows of opportunity in sea levels and climatic conditions.
These Ice-Age movements 60,000-11,000 years ago have largely shaped the human gene pool visible today.
