Best Answer

The most likely continent for first occupation by humans is Africa, specifically the northwest corner of the African continent. This is the scientific answer, well supported by fossil evidence. Humans, very much like today's people, seem to have existed there up to 1.5 million years ago.

Somewhere around 150,000 years ago they seem to have migrated beyond Africa into the Middle East, India, and China.

The last continent (not counting Antarctica) to be occupied was South America.
