If I read the ice core historic graph right, this would have been during the last interglacial maximum. Warm is good for human life? Who knew?

If we rule out boredom and wanderlust in these early men we must consider food shortages and inclement climate conditions.
Why leave a virtual paradise where the food grows on trees and bushes, the forest floor makes a comfortable bed, the water runs clear and plentiful and time clocks are millenia in the unanticipated future?

Persecution.
Those places in Africa from where humans spread, humans still live, don't they? Maybe the ones that left, were chased away.

The ages of these speleothems show that the last main period of increased rainfall occurred between 140,000 and 110,000 years ago. So, it looks to be a long time until the Negev is once more "The Land of Milk and Honey".

Totally out of the question — the earliest man had no knowledge of his whereabouts or that there was even a larger world out there.
As foragers they likey traveled only as far as daylight would allow a roundtrip.

That’s what they get for coming down out of the safety of the trees.

As foragers they likely traveled only as far as daylight would allow a round trip. Again, unless the ones that stayed behind, hadn't chased the "foragers" away, in the first place.
Persecution still is an excellent motivator for abandoning known lands for newer ones.

“Out of Africa” is being proven false, one new discovery at a time.
