French geologist Maurice Taieb, American anthropologist Donald Johanson, British archaeologist Mary Leakey and French-born paleontologist Yves Coppens were the group of scientists that discovered Lucy, the first human fossil found in 1974 at Hadar, Ethiopia.
The oldest human remains to have been discovered (if human is taken to be a member of the genus Homo) date to 2.3 million years ago and were discovered in Hadar, Ethiopia.
Human life first appeared in Africa and then proceeded to migrate to other continents.
it is belived that the first humans or homosapians hailed from Africa
The first human beings, homo erectus
The first humans are believed to have emerged in Africa, specifically in the region of East Africa. Fossil and genetic evidence point to this region as the cradle of humanity.

Elephants and 'human' share a common origin in Africa so the discovery is somewhere around 12000 BC

I know for a fact that it was found on the Continent of Africa but I'm not sure which counrty in Africa. The oldest human remains were found in the Horn of Africa, Somilia.
The fossil evidence clearly shows that man's ancestors evolved in Africa and that man first appeared in africa, spreading across the world from there (as supported by contemporary genetic studies). Thus Africa is the original home (the cradle) of humankind.
Lucy's discovery of the Australopithecus afarensis remains was significant because it provided key insights into human evolution. The discovery showed that bipedalism preceded the development of a larger brain, challenging previous ideas about the evolution of early humans. Lucy's remains helped researchers better understand the timeline of human evolution and the characteristics of our ancestors.
Homo erectus is the first human to be found outside of Africa.
Africa Just recently (about 2007) archeologist's have found remains of human bones dating all the way back to like, 50,000,000 BC.

All of the earliest remains of proto-humans have been found in Africa. This leads to the conclusion that humanity evolved in Africa and then spread from there around the world.
