The first of these African groups to separate geographically and genetically was a group that traveled east to southeast Asia and then the islands to the south, including Australia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, etc. This occured about 70 thousand years ago.
The remaining group, probably located in the near east split about 40 thousand years ago when a group that would become the Asians traveled east along the northern boundary of the glaciation to Asia, some traveling across the Beiring Straight to the Americas eventually reaching South America.
The Caucasians spread east to India, north to Europe and west to north Africa.
