We didnt all come from Africa. 10,000 years ago there was no Africa, it was just a particular land mass on planet earth. Africa is a political territory, officially recognized as a continent. It has only officially been Africa for about 2000 years or so; my history may be wrong.

who actually knows how old the world is ??? how would we know ? dnt tell me some guy put a stick in a rock and dated it just dnt
That would be something. But before we give up and declare that nothing is knowable simply because "it might be wrong", we should ask first: is it wrong?, and how do we know it's wrong? Answer those for me.
Dismissing an entire branch of science (actually, in this case it would be all of science) makes as much as sense as saying "I might stub my toe if I get out of bed, so I may as well never get out of bed again. I'll just lay here and starve to death, because I might get an owie."
That would be retarded.

i diss that branch of science because... drum roll....... we did not create this planet.. as far as we know we are the 2nd or 3rd species to live on this planet mayb lower..
and its closer to %100 chance we are wrong because we just made it up
Humans created science, but we didn't create the things which science studies. Atoms, protons, rocks, the planet, stars, etc. were all here before humans and science were.
We know the planet's age through processes such as that radiometric dating I mentioned. It's a school that requires knowledge of atoms, atomic particles, the nuclear forces, mathematics, etc.
So if you reject the science and the methods, do you reject the things they study? Do you think that atoms aren't real, they're make believe? We used meteorites to determine the planet and solar system's age--do you believe meteorites are make believe?
Why do you reject the method, but not the subject?
