Why did the migration of humans from Africa to the rest of the world take place so slowly?

A better question might be, "What happened to all the earlier humans that left Africa?"
Humans have been leaving Africa for 2 million years. Our branch left Kenya 60 thousand years ago. There were some Neanderthals left from an earlier migration out of Africa, but that was about it.
Anyway, it took 10 thousand years to get to Australia. The food along that path was the same as it had been in Africa. Needless to say, life was dangerous and survival was difficult.
In order for humans to move north, they had to solve several problems: How could they obtain food during periods when no food was available? How could they stay warm in colder weather? They had to create warmer clothing and discover a way to kill different animals. They created better stone tools so they could kill bigger animals, the middle stone age. They started wearing animal skins.
At that point they became more successful than the Neanderthals.
Then they could spread.

How did the pioneers get to Canada?
The scientific methods employed in the construction of origin theories of Canada's First Nations peoples are diverse and the results are inconclusive. Skeletal evidence of what is believed to be the first modern human, or homo sapien, was found in Africa and is dated to 40,000 years ago. Based upon this information, scientists place the origin of the human species outside of the Americas. This is contrary to the belief of First Nations peoples. According to their oral tradition, they originated in North America and did not migrate from somewhere else. Scientists from several different disciplines support theories of migration from Asia to the Americas, but they disagree over when, how or why the first humans came to the Americas.

How did the out of Africa hypothesis influence the evolution of modern humans?
The evolution of modern humans influenced the out of Africa hypothesis. Humans have a determinable migration pattern by the tracing of haplotypes and their variation as humans apparently moved from continent to continent. The in place hypothesis can not account for the haplotype similarities by positing interbreeding because many peoples are almost breeding isolates, such as the tribes of the Amazon, yet they still can be traced from their point of origin with genetic typing. Thus any interbreeding with proto-human populations in place was swamped by the genotypes of the out of Africa migration of modern humans.
When did migration take place?
Migration has taken place throughout human history, with different waves occurring at various times due to factors such as economic opportunities, political instability, or environmental changes.
