What made it possible to leave Africa?

While there is some debate about whether Homo ergaster was the first of our ancestors to leave Africa, they did possess the physical and cultural attributes that would have aided dispersal through the arid environments of northern Africa and the Middle East. These attributes included:

* A modern body shape with an efficient striding gait suited to travelling over long distances, although smaller statures are represented in the remains from Dmanisia sufficiently developed intelligence to cope with unfamiliar environments, although did not require a brain size much bigger than Homo habilis, with an average brain size of 610cc* improved technology to aid subsistence (Oldowan-style tools or Mode1 Technology have been *found at sites in Dmanisi, Georgia, and northern China, both dating to 1.7 million years old)a diet * that included more meat and which increased the food supply options in seasonally arid environments

Who left Africa next?

After the first early dispersals out of Africa, various other groups of early humans spread out of Africa as their populations grew. These dispersals were not regular or constant but instead occurred as waves of dispersal during periods with favourable climatic and environmental conditions.  (These were the Elohim Hybrid Ethnic  Human Being, from the Wise Sapiens Species).

These waves of dispersal out of Africa included movements eastward across southern Asia more than one million years ago and movements into western Europe within the last 900,000 years. Movements back into Africa also occurred.
