Emigration to Europe
- The Neanderthals ( 130 K - 35 K ) were living in Europe untill west Asia and mingled with the Denisova man. The Neanderthals dyed out same like the Denisova. Nevertheless, we can still detect Neanderthal DNA in us today.
- The homo sapiens emigrated around 45 K years ago to Europe.
On the way to new continents
- The homo sapiens crossed Asia to emigrate to Australia (50 K) and America (40 K)
Passing the Beringa route to America
- The Denisova man lived in Asia (76 - 52 K years). He probably mixed up with the Neanderthal man.
- Homo sapiens traveled the Beringa route 16 K years ago when there was still a layer of ice there.
