The eruption of Mt. Toba ~73kya left S. Asia buried under a blanket of volcanic ash ~6M deep, from Indonesia where the eruption occurred (Mt. Pinatubo, pictured above, wasn't too far off in the Philippines, from where Toba popped), to the Levant, sparing nothing alive it's suffocating embrace, and leaving any living in that region only one option to continue to live: flight. While calculations of the rate of molecular mutations supported the hypothesis that at about that time our species first departed Africa, the proposition of leaving that refuge from the obliteration of the habitable environment for the very wasteland of ash seems highly unlikely. Further, the Out of Africa theory, as it has come to be known, proposes that H. sapiens evolved in Africa and fossil evidence of progressively modern Sapiens remains is held up as support of that hypothesis, from the archaic proto sapiens found in Djebel Irhoud in Morocco that have been dated to ~300kya, to more derived modern remains scattered across E. and S. Africa from ~200kya to ~130kya, the OoA hypothesis has become consensus in the field of human evolution.

Dear my respected senior @valued-customer !
Do you believe that the ancestors of all modern humans originated in Africa?

I had the dangerous idea that the Bible's Eve might have been a black woman!😄
