Earliest Humans in Africa?
Earliest evidence of humans comes from eastern and southern Africa Includes fossil remains, cave paintings, and plant
and animal life **Climate in Africa often hinders the search for
further clues
Most important discovery made at Olduvai GorgeLocated in Tanzania on the edge of the Great Rift valley Location of important archaeological discovery

A Common Ancestor?Scientists have studied the DNA of people from many different areasSome have concluded that
we all share a certain strand of DNA
This may mean we all have a common ancestor, a woman who may have lived over 100,000 years ago (“Eve”)
