Much of this discussion depends how far back one wants to go.
Human race came out of Africa.
Not once but twice.
What this discussion should be about is mass movement of civilized societies.
And not merely hunter gatherers.
Some post have made reference of human migrations before the dawn of
civilization.
And to a recent post, there were no human existence during the period of
"Gondwanaland" (500 million years go). Please see below from Wikipedial

From Wikipedia:
The assembly of Gondwana was a protracted process. Several orogenies led to its
final amalgamation 550–500 million years ago in the Cambrian. [1] These include
the Brasiliano Orogeny, the East African Orogeny, the Malagasy Orogeny, and the
Kuunga Orogeny. The final stages of Gondwana assembly overlapped with the
opening of the Iapetus Ocean between Laurentia and western Gondwana. During
this interval the Cambrian Explosion occurred.
Gondwanaland was formed by these earlier continents and microcontinents, and
others, colliding in these orogenies

the Goths, Visigoths, Saxons, Slavs, Greeks, Persians and Indians, a link also
proved by DNA.
