The story that revealed this metastory is fascinating in itself:

Homo Erectus is observed to have disappeared from Africa around 500 ky ago, from China around 400 ky ago, but in Indonesia on Java, they seem to have been around until around 100 ky, perhaps even later. Sapiens didn't arrive on Java until around 50 ky ago, so there was nobody around to push them out.
