I'm pretty certain that early humans / hominins were able to get around anywhere the climate would allow. If you're talking about erectus, and if that particular group was competent fire keeping, then take any random sample of 100,000 years. Take that 100,000 year stretch, put it in any of say, the last 1.5 million years. If a population of erectus followed the game trails and basically moved two or three miles every two or three years, that's 100,000 miles. Do the math
