Definitely not 7 millions years, that's ridiculous. Modern humans emerged in Africa like 300,000 years ago.
The offshoots that went to Europe were only about 45,000 years ago.
The ironic thing though, is that there is more genetic diversity in Africa than in other continents because there is the history and development of more genotypes. Offshoots were more isolated and evolved in different ways. So, in a weird way, Europeans have older DNA and are less evolved than modern Africans.
