Correct Answer: B. Africa

In the 1960s, paleo-anthropologists unearthed the remains of Homo sapiens known as Omo I, from the lower Omo valley of southern Ethiopia. Previous attempts to date the Omo I fossils suggested they were 197,000 years old, but the new research shows they must be 230,000 years old and they are the oldest unchallenged Homo sapiens in Africa.
