1000 BC is when the Jahwist story was written. They had no connections to the first group of homo sapiens in Africa, or even the Homo Neanderthals which intermingled with them when they crossed the red see into the Middle East. This is about archeology, not history. What is history is scholarship on the Jahwist writer and the rabbinical and priestly addtions to the Tenach and the clear evolution of both mankind and the the creation story from the Sumeric story with its multiple Gods. The Catholic counter-myth was that Moses wrote Genesis. There is much evidence that he did not.
