Solution

The correct option is C

Africa


According to fossils discovered up to present time, the origin and evolution of man started from Africa. Regardless of where we have lived for the past few thousand years, we all come from Africa. The earliest members of the human species, Homo sapiens, can be traced there. Even our genetic footprints can be traced back to our African roots. According to various models and theories, modern humans originated in Africa and started to disperse through the world roughly 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. Such theories are based on the human fossil timeline records.
