There is no way anyone can convince me that all the worlds civilizations came from one area of Africa.

They didn't, and don't. Civilizations are shaped by the conditions in the areas they rise in, not by the ancestral home of all mankind. But the people who created those civilizations all came from ancestors who came from Africa.

OH?

Than what about the human remains found in China, a few years ago that are older than any of those found in Africa?
