Africa, particularly Eastern Africa, is widely accepted to be the place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade, also known as the great apes. The earliest hominids and their ancestors have been dated to around 7 million years ago, and Homo sapiens (modern human) are believed to have originated in Africa 350,000 to 260,000 years ago

 From the late-19th century to early 20th century, driven by the Second Industrial Revolution, most of Africa was rapidly conquered and colonised by European nations, save for Ethiopia and Liberia


After the evolution of Homo sapiens approximately 350,000 to 260,000 BP, the continent was mainly populated by groups of hunter-gatherers.[62][63] These first modern humans left Africa and populated the rest of the globe during the Out of Africa II migration dated to approximately 50,000 years BP, exiting either across Bab-el-Mandeb over the Red Sea,[64][65] the Strait of Gibraltar,[66][67] or the Isthmus of Suez.[68]
