I wonder whether this map is acurate :

my estimates :

E-M78 23.5 ka
E-V13 13 ka
expansion time for E-V13 : 4.5 ka
Cruciani et al. (2007) suggests that this subclade originated in "Northeastern Africa", which in the study refers specifically to the region of Egypt andLibya.[3]
Prior to Cruciani et al. (2007), Semino et al. (2004) had proposed a place of origin for E-M78 further south in East Africa. This was because of the high frequency and diversity of E-M78 lineages in the region of Ethiopia. However, Cruciani et al. (2007) were able to study more data, and concluded that the E-M78 lineages in the Horn of Africa were dominated by relatively recent branches (see E-V32 below). They concluded that the region of Egypt was the likely place of origin of E-M78 based on "the peripheral geographic distribution of the most derived subhaplogroups with respect to northeastern Africa, as well as the results of quantitative analysis of UEP and microsatellite diversity".

Not too sure what that map is representing.
I think this is more specific and informative
Regarding the time frames I will not doubt that there will reconsideration by time. It happens as we will have more refined tools to analise data and so on.
