Sapiens were still in Africa at that time. At least there's no other evidence of sapiens outside of Africa until 90 to 120K years ago, and that was way west in the Levant. Then again, absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Like when did the first humans reach the western hemisphere, there's soooo much we don't know about our own ancestors and our cousins.
