Still a lot of holes: When did the pop in Africa spread out within Africa? When did the many ‘Edens’ happen and why?

Why were the previous expansions out of Africa dead ends? Presumably they mean ones that ended up being Denisovans and Florensis.

They were very successful, at least, some of them. Not as good as us, but expanding to another continent and surviving there for hundreds of thousands of years is not exactly a complete failure. Unfortunately for this planet, our species is just too good at procreating and killing everything on our way

In a general sense it’s more like unfortunately for us, the planet will endure after we die as a species and then blossom again eventually, just without us.
