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.
It is argued that the human race began in Africa, therefore Africa is the cradle of civilisation.
Cradle of life.
As far as we can tell Africa is the cradle of humanity (it is where the first men and women evolved and lived). Therefor the African people have not migrated from anywhere, they are were they always have been. It is the people round the rest of the world that have migrated from Africa.

It is thought to be in central west Africa.

Africa is considered the cradle of human life because it is where the earliest anatomically modern humans (Homo sapiens) originated and evolved over millions of years. Fossil evidence, genetic studies, and archaeological findings support the theory that humans first emerged in Africa before spreading to other regions of the world.
As Africa is the cradle of humanity, logically it was always know - it was the rest of the world that was unknown. However form a European viewpoint (much later in human history), while north Africa was known the heart of Africa was an 'unknown', uncharted area. This was the case for most European recorded history until the period of the Victorian explorers and the start of colonisation.
They did not go there. South Africa is the cradle for all of mankind.
