The earliest is that of a male Australopithecus afarensis (ca. 3-3.5 million years ago), The earliest sites are in Africa where hominid evolution began. Between one to two million years ago, populations of early humans spread out of Africa to populate the Old World from Europe to China and Southeast Asia.

It's all a bit unclear. From memory the earliest known human fossil types are Australo-pathicus from (you guessed it) Australia, and rama-pathicus ('scuse spelling for both), which I thought was from South America. Then it seems to be an anthropological given that humanity originated in Africa.
I will watch your answers with interest ...

Africa is the text book answer but as we have not dug up every square inch of the planet who is to say that the polar caps may hold the secret or even under the sea.

from what is taught at school, africa (i think further to the north) is where the human race originated. but as the continents were much closer together at that time it was easy to move from now what we call africa to the other continents in the world.
