It's worth a read just for the diagrams of possible timelines. Apparently there was at least one earlier wave of Homo Sapiens ancestors going to Europe, too, label gamma, which would have just been absorbed by the Neanderthals.

The Eurasian superarchaics would themselves have left Africa around 2 million years ago, with the very first Homo Erectus or Habilis migrants into the larger world.
