Genesis 11:27-28 . . .Te′rah became father to A′bram, Na′hor and Ha′ran; and Ha′ran became father to Lot. 28 Later Ha′ran died while in company with Te′rah his father in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chal‧de′ans.
Ur (Sumerian: Urim;[1] Sumerian Cuneiform: URIM2KI or URIM5KI;[2] Akkadian: Uru;[3] Arabic: أور; Hebrew: אור) was an important Sumerian city-state in ancient Mesopotamia, located at the site of modern Tell el-Muqayyar (Arabic: تل المقير) in south Iraq's Dhi Qar Governorate.

Not likely historians, some paleontologists believe comparative genetics, and archaeological finds of the earliest stone tools related to Africa indicate that the oldest existing population of what may be considered the original humans exists near the Southern tip of India. This is a relict population of the original human (ancestor homo sapien sapiens) migration. This is probably not necessarily the population that all humans descended from, but an isolated population of the larger migration that moved out of Africa along the coastal region of Southern Asia.
It is still a controversial claim. Those that make the claim believe the first migration was about ~74000 years ago before Mount Toba erupted, others claim the migration only occured after the eruption about ~55000 to ~60,000 years ago.
Nonetheless this population appears to be a genetically isolated population descended from the original migration.

Genetically they appear to come from the same place as all the other coastal Eastern Mediterranean peoples. Israeli Jews share a common origin with Greeks, Anatolians, Levantines, etc.
Weren't the San, or Bushmen, of Southern Africa, genetically pegged as the most ancient human demographic?
Outside of Africa.
