The modern-day Human species has evolved from its earliest ancestors who lived in?

A large portion of human evolution took place in the continent of Africa, where humans first appeared. All of the early human fossils that date between 6 and 2 million years ago are from Africa. 

About 200,000 and 300,000 years ago, early hominid ancestors of the first modern humans—Homo sapiens—evolved. Around 50,000 years ago, they began to learn the language.
