Prehistoric Africa is where all humans came from. The technological achievements of prehistoric Africans predated all other technological achievements.

Prehistoric Africa is where humans came from, Yes. Technological achievements of prehistoric Africans predated all other technological advancements, no. Hand tools or Oldowan tools, yes.

Hand tools are not technological advancements? Do you think the space shuttle came from out of the blue?

Hominids species had some of the same tools millions of years ago.

That has now been disputed, as the earliest humanoid remains have been found in Asia. It's not where you have been, it is where you are now.

It is not known because of the arrival and evolution of the Homo sapiens or if previous races lived amongst one another and interbred.

All races are the same intelligence. It depends on the quality and purity of food that you eat and it depends on how much stimulation you get as a child. Mind you, too much stimulation like some of those Baby TV shows will likely just produce more ADHD children. Countries that do well often start educating early. My son went to full day school at 3 and I think that was much better for him than spending his days with a nanny. Even a dedicated parent would have trouble matching that level and quality of stimulation.

Disputed by whom? The out of Africa origin of humanity is still the accepted and scientifically supported route of human evolution.

Look, I understand that there are those of you here who wish to assert the inferiority of Africans and their supposed lack of contribution to civilization. There are those of you who want to elevate yourself as being the master race. But you are really laboring from the fallacy of recency. You look around you today and see shiny things (eg nice cars). You think that these objects are the apex of human achievement, and whoever invented them must be geniuses. But you fail to realize that 100,000 years ago, our ancestors in Africa faced much more severe environmental privations. The challenges they faced were more difficult than the challenges you face today. I would bet that anyone from today transported to 100,000 years ago will not last a day in the savannahs of Africa.
