Homo sapiens is a species, not a race. Anatomically modern homo sapiens may have evolved up to 250 000 years ago, the earliest fossil evidence we have of H. sapiens dates back almost 200 000 years.
It's generally believed also that there was a second big change about 35-50 thousand years ago, when you start to find much more complex tools, evidence of art and so on, also about the time that Neandertals went extinct in Europe.
There's still a huge debate raging about the origins of modern humans, and there is no one definitively proven answer.

Some scientist speculate that Homo sapiens might have sailed to Australia some 176,000 years ago. "Stone artifacts from recent archaeological excavations indicate that Australia may have been populated as early as 176,000 years ago, more than triple previous estimates." Keep in mind this is abou triple what many scientists believe presently as we speak.
