Solution

The correct option is A Africa
A- Humans first appeared in the African continent some six million years ago. According to the genetic and paleontological record, we only started to leave Africa between 60,000 and 70,000 years ago, in the middle of the stone age and this is the reason why most fossils are found in the African continent.
