I am interested in bracketing the dates for the last common ancestor of
humankind. Would a good guess be somewhere between "Eve" and the
appearance of modern man - say, between 200 and 50 Kya? It seems to me
that dates outside this range would be impossible.

Is this on track and can this range be narrowed? Suggestions welcomed.
