What's the difference between the solid and broken lines?
You can reasonably split the world into 8 or 16 areas, the 8 is shown by the colours and solid lines, if you also split it up by the broken lines you get the 16 (I think).

Is it related to politics as well? Some of those lines are suspiciously close to international borders
If it is, it is a mistake or a co-correlation rather than causation.
This is the first version they did. They caused some controversy and they fixed some errors including one that could be related to politics, and the biggest change was Yemen, Oman and Somalia went to Arabia. That could be politics, but if so it is really old politics.

Something to do with human population genome markers?
Not at all.
Would the map be accurate or relevant or the same if made 50 years ago or 100?
It would be the same 50 years ago or 100 years ago.

Dispersal of human species; the coloured areas relate to when first populated by homo sapiens.
No, but a little closer.
Was the information used to create this map archaeological? paleological? Geological?
You are going to make me read the paper?
From a quick look, principally genetic and observational.

Did you see my edit: From a quick look, principally genetic and observational.
No I missed it until now.
So it looks like it is "out of Africa" related.
No, almost the opposite.
