Were the first humans ever in africa (cave men)?

Question

Read a book that told me is this the truth?

Answer 1

I have no idea, they could have lived anywhere.

Answer 2

Australopithecus Afarensis evolved in Africa. Some of it's ancestors, Homo Erectus, left Africa. Eventually they died out, but Homo Sapiens (us) and Homo Neandrathalis (cavemen) evolved from Homo Erectus and spread out across the world. Homo Neandrathalis eventually died out also. Contrary to popular belief, we are not descended from Neanderthals. So yes, Humans came from Africa, but not cavemen.

Answer 3

In my opinion, humans lived in Africa and Eurasia for a million years depending on exactly how you define human.  The oldest modern human fossil was found in Africa, but that doesn't mean they weren't also in Eurasia at the time.  The term cave man just means their fossils were found in caves.  They didn't live in caves anymore than modern humans.   Caves are just good places to preserve fossils.

Answer 4

its more complicated than that there like a whole bunch of "human " ppl that lived but the oldest bone i think were found in africa

Answer 5

Early humans utilized any shelter they could find or build. However, caves provided a perfect place for fosilization of bones & preservation of artifacts. It is estimated that an actual species age is some 30 to 40% older than the oldest fossil evidence found. Human remains, unless in a perfect spot for preservation & fosilization, decayed rapidly & left behind no evidence.

One has to wish prehistoric humans had the foresight to die in the proper places & provide us with more & better evidence of their lifestyle.

Answer 6

They lived in  East Africa, and they were called  Adam and Eve.

Answer 7

Answer 8
