Final answer:

The first species to migrate out of Africa was Homo sapiens, expanding to different regions including the Mediterranean Sea, India, China, and North and South America.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first species to migrate out of Africa was Homo sapiens.

They migrated out of eastern and southern Africa as early as 200,000 years ago, expanding deeper south, west, and north as far as the Mediterranean Sea.

Approximately 100,000 years ago, groups of Homo sapiens left Africa and began a global migration, eventually reaching places like India, China, and finally settling in North and South America.
