Curiously, that is just about the same time period when Neanderthals began to expand.
I know that one common theory is that Neanderthals may have evolved from Homo Erectus.
Artifacts and a few fossils of modern humans dating back 100,000 years have been found in Israel and the Caucasus region between the Black Sea and the Caspian, so it appears that modern humans were also on the move earlier than thought.
Curiously, once again, modern humans appear to have migrated towards Persia, India and southeast Asia for about 20,000 years before they made a U-turn and marched back across southern Asia, along the northern Black Sea coast, and into Europe, about 40,000 years ago.
The Neanderthals went extinct in Europe just about the same time that modern humans arrived.
Well, the BBC doesn’t seem to think so:
BATTLE FOR EARTH Homo Erectus vs Homo Sapiens

Not saying you are wrong, but they are saying Erectus hunted and ATE Sapiens...
