I believe best evidence points to 25-50,000 years since the migration out of Africa. ... nvm from Wikipedia
It is now believed that the first modern humans to spread east across Asia left Africa about 75,000 years ago across the Bab el Mandib connecting Ethiopia and Yemen. From the Near East, some of these people went east to South Asia by 50,000 years ago, and on to Australia by 46,000 years ago at the latest,[12] when for the first time H. sapiens reached territory never reached by H. erectus. H. sapiens reached Europe around 43,000 years ago,[13] eventually replacing the Neanderthal population by 24,000 years ago. East Asia was reached by 30,000 years ago. The date of migration to North America is disputed; it may have taken place around 30 thousand years ago, or considerably later, around 14 thousand years ago. The oldest DNA evidence of human habitation in North America, radiocarbon dated to 14,300 years ago, has been found in fossilized human coprolites uncovered in the Paisley Five Mile Point Caves in south-central Oregon.[14] Colonization of the Pacific islands of Polynesia began around 1300 BCE, and was completed by 900 CE. The ancestors of Polynesians left Taiwan around 5,200 years ago.
So it seems what probably happened is the humans went to middle-east. The ones who went east got yellower, and the ones who went north got lighter. I wonder if neanderthal DNA mixing happened in the middle-east and then up north. Explains why asians have the traits also. May explain the lighter skin for a large part.
So 75,000 years is 3,000 generations. We see differences in eyes, skin, nose, body shape, hair and many more. But god damnit the brain (and therefore intellectual capacity and personality traits) are constant. (rolling eyes)

The instinct to venture out of Apefrica had to have been genetic, since all the apes that left turned into humans.
