This is one of the biggest unsolved mysteries and the genetic evidence is starting to contradict itself (different results in different studies) and some genetic evidence contradicts the archaeological evidence. I'll try and post some links discussing the problems tomorrow. The dates differ from 60,000 to 120,000 years ago.
