Do you think it's an accident that the earliest Homo remains all come from a small band in South and East Africa?

Wouldn't the extensive glaciation in the last ice age have destroyed any fossilized remains of pre-ice-age humans in any area north of 40° latitude if they existed?

No. There are plenty of non-human fossils.

Not at all. Glaciers scour the surface of the land but do not necessarily destroy buried fossils, especially fossils in caves.
