For years I've been reading the debates about humanity coming from East Africa migrating and populating the rest of the world. From that point we began to see a lot of evidence which suggest that humanity came from South Africa ... but I often would notice that they would be hesitant to do research on West Africa.

So now that they are actually and finally doing research in Africa they are finding things that are actually reshaping history. I think this is extremely important especially to our people who many are descendants from West Africa.
"Cradle of humanity

Africa is considered by most paleoanthropologists to be the oldest inhabited territory on earth, with the human species originating from the continent. Fossil remains have been discovered of several species of early apelike humans thought to have evolved into modern man.

Since the mid-1990s, several groups of prominent scientists have begun to challenge East Africa's position as the evolutionary cradle of humanity, suggesting that it may have been more in central or western Africa.

In 1995 a group of French scientists discovered a 3.5-million-year-old jawbone of one of man's ancestors - an Australopithecus afarensi - west of the Rift Valley in Chad, central Africa.

In 2001 a Chadian student discovered a seven-million-year-old skull of a hominid, or Sahelanthropus tchadensis, dubbed "Toumai", possibly one of man's more distant relatives.

Humanity came first and then the animals and everything else came afterwards. Your title and post suggests that animals, neatherthals came before 'man'. This is not the case. intelligent life can not come from an neatherthal. Intelligent life comes from 'God'.


WoW! Dang!

I think your timeline is missing some parts such as this which predates most of what you listed.
