解开解剖学上的现代人类第一次走出非洲的移民引起了来自各个学科的研究人员的极大兴趣。现有的化石、考古学和气候数据提供了许多假设，因此，随着全基因组基因分型和测序技术的出现以及古代样本可用性的增加，遗传学为检验与我们自己的历史有关的理论提供了另一个重要工具。在这篇评论中，我们报告了关于我们的祖先如何以及何时离开非洲，有多少波传播以及采取了哪些地理路线的持续辩论。我们探索每个的有效性，使用当前的遗传文献加上一些关键的考古发现。
Unraveling the first migrations of anatomically modern humans out of Africa has invoked great interest among researchers from a wide range of disciplines. Available fossil, archeological, and climatic data offer many hypotheses, and as such genetics, with the advent of genome-wide genotyping and sequencing techniques and an increase in the availability of ancient samples, offers another important tool for testing theories relating to our own history. In this review, we report the ongoing debates regarding how and when our ancestors left Africa, how many waves of dispersal there were and what geographical routes were taken. We explore the validity of each, using current genetic literature coupled with some of the key archeological findings.
