Answer 1

The super continent. Pangia

Answer 2

no, it was Africa thats where the human race started

Answer 3

Answer 4

All the continents were together at one point, Josh. It was one giant land mass. Then Tectonic plates shifted, and over billions of years the continents we have today were formed.

Answer 5

Didn't the separation if Pangea happen before humans, though?

Answer 6

@Niko_De_Angelo im not that stupid but i just wanted to says that when humans started existing it was on Africa long after Pangia divided

Answer 7

@scapeplan @JoshXD "Other scientists have argued that human beings originated in Africa before moving to other regions 150,000 to 200,000 years ago. Homo sapiens discovered in Middle Awash, Ethiopia, from 160,000 years ago were believed to be the oldest 'modern' human beings."

Answer 8

Emphasis on the " oldest 'MODERN' human beings."

Answer 9

(poker face)...

Answer 10

Lol

Answer 11

So you agree with us?

Answer 12

Partially. I believe that the first CIVILIZATIONS were in Africa.

Answer 13

philosophical dispute!!!

Answer 14

That's why I said oldest 'modern' human beings. I'm using 'modern' in the context of 'somewhat civilized'

Answer 15

are you talking about evolution now?

Answer 16

Not necessarily the evolution of humans as much as the evolution of the tools and structure of the society.

Answer 17

In any case homo diverged from other hominids in Africa, and evolution continued in Africa. The question isn't about civilization but early humans, so I still think Op's answer should be Africa.

Answer 18

@asofaafetai im really sorry for all the confusion we have caused the answer is Africa

Answer 19

What I'm saying is the Civilizations started in Africa. But early human remains are being found from earlier and earlier times. So there is no way of knowing for sure.

Answer 20

"Scientists could be forced to re-write the history of the evolution of modern man after the discovery of 400,000-year-old human remains.

Until now, researchers believed that homo sapiens, the direct descendants of modern man, evolved in Africa about 200,000 years ago and gradually migrated north, through the Middle East, to Europe and Asia.

Recently, discoveries of early human remains in China and Spain have cast doubt on the 'Out of Africa' theory, but no-one was certain" http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1341973/Did-humans-come-Middle-East-Africa-Scientists-forced-write-evolution-modern-man.html

Answer 21

(facepalm)

Answer 22

But yes your TEST ANSWER is gonna be Africa. Because that is the widely accepted answer. Kind of like how people thought the world was flat.

Answer 23

My personal opinion is China. Think about it. If Africa was where humans were at first, then why is it the least evolved country?

Answer 24

Africa isn't a country.

Answer 25

And it's not the "least evolved" just because it's poor.

Answer 26

Sorry. Africa is the LEAST DEVELOPED CONTINENT.
