I highly doubt that we had multiple cases of humans evolving in different spots. That's just mathematically near impossible to have multiple cases of convergent evolution of near identical modern humans. Much more likely (by orders of magnitude) is that humans evolved in one location but earlier then we previous thought and that they spread out of Africa much earlier then we thought though there population likely remained rather small for a long time. The mitochondrial DNA and the diversity of the human gene pool in Africa still points to Africa being where modern humans evolved (that's why Africa has such a higher diversity of gene types and mitochondrial DNA types) where as other parts of the world were settled by small bands of humans and thus have much less genetic variety.
