As its unlikely they had an Olduvai Gorge-style "origin" - it's puzzling.
Some like to trace migrations of those peoples from 'Africa' across 'Asia' to the Bering Strait and down into the 'Western Hemisphere'. Others have them arriving up from 'Patagonia' thru the isthmus of 'Panama', etc. Dating populations in 10s of thousands of years doesn't seem to come close to how long ago these humans sprang up.
