Why was North Africa the fist part of the African continent to be visited by people from other continents?

North Africa is the closest region of the African continent to the other parts of the motherland of civilization. Africa, Europe, and Asia are all connected (via Asia) and humans have existed on these continents since the beginning of man. They then migrated to the remaining continents (with the exception of Antarctica) over two million years later. North Africa is the closest region of Africa to Europe and Asia (the Middle East). In fact, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East all surround the Mediterranean Ocean, which was a fast way of transportation and trade back in the day.
