The 2 Theories

One of our theories is that the Homo Sapien Modern evolved in Africa. One of the reasons is because during that specific period when the Homo Sapiens Modern was evolving, the Ice Age might have taken place on the planet, which means that temperatures were very low at the south and north hemispheres, and animals were forced to live near the equator where it was warmer. Another reason is that in the middle there are lots of big herds of animals, which the Humans could hunt for meat. The third reason is that the untouched rainforest was covering a large area in the middle of Africa, and the rainforest has a good overflow and supply of water etc.
This means that the Homo Sapiens Modern later migrated from Africa to Europe and replaced the other Human species.

Our other theory is that after Homo sapiens archaic had migrated into Europe, it evolved into Homo sapiens modern and Homo sapiens Neanderthal. Since there was an ice age during that time, we believe that both Homo sapiens Neanderthal and Homo sapiens modern thrived in this environment. But, when the ice age ended the environment was no longer beneficial for the Neanderthal and this might be a reason for their extinction. However, the Homo sapiens modern might have adapted to the warmer environment in a better way and thereby kept on living and dispersing.
