Answer 5

DNA evidence indicates that all people alive in the world today are descended from a female ancestor who lived in
Africa in ancient times. That, however, does not prove that human life began in Africa, since there were other human type beings (such as Neanderthals), none of whose genetic material is apparently detectable in modern humans, who might nonetheless have originated in other parts of the world than Africa (Neanderthals presumably in the area of Europe in which their bones have been discovered), so I doubt that it is possible to say with any degree of certainty where the first hominids evolved, and the answer may well also depend upon the definition of "human".

Answer 6

Fossil dating shows that earliest human life came from Africa. Life started there and moved north to Europe, then to Asia.

Answer 7

It has been found that human life began in Africa.

Answer 8

out of the 4 id say Africa, although it is believed that at one time all the continents were one giant mass of land, and as the plates on the earth moved, the continents separated into separate landmasses.

Answer 9

Africa-East African Rift- Lucy dating back 3.18 million years ago is the earliest human ancestor located in Hadar, Ethiopia.

If you're talking about Homo-Sapiens it's still Africa 125,000 years ago is the earliest evidence of their existence. They spread out of Africa 100,000 years ago.

Answer 10

human life is scientifically proven to have started in Africa because they found the oldest bones there of a half ape/ human. this was believed to be rt oldest relative decendant besides the common monkey, and then when the continents split that how we developed separatly. ( there used to be one continent before it split)
