This is incorrect. Man and apes are both primates. Whether you call the common ancester a "primate"is a bit irrelevant. The common ancester happened to be in Africa (or whatever continent existed at the time) and so that is where it occurred. it couls have been in antactica but wasn't. Call it happenstance.
