Of course that doesn't mean that earlier hominids were not successful enough to radiate out of Africa sooner than that. But they would simply have been absorbed or over run by latest African exports.
Yep. If a group felt pressured while living along the Nile they would have taken the available exit into the ME. The Black Sea and Bosphorus would have caused most of them to head east. Apparently they made it to Australia by 50,000 BCE.
