The genetic evidence and human palaeontological record indicates that anatomically modern humans first emerged in Africa around 200,000 years ago and subsequently spread out of Africa in the last 100,000 years. Modern human behavior, as seen in the archaeological record, is especially clear beginning about 40,000 years ago, but earlier aspects of such behavior (mentioned in the chorus) can be seen earlier, especially in Africa.
