according to bungie's story of the halo universe we are the descendants of the forerunner, they dont say it exactly but it can be assumed because all forerunner technology needs human hands to activate, and since Africa is globally believed to be the beggining of intelligent human life they placed the ark there. since the ark is the only sanctuary from the blast of the halos thats the only place humans could survive. therefore, once the halos were activated human life "began" again at the site of the ark in Africa once they came out and repopulated.
The birthplace of humanity was the fertile crescent, in the middle east. And, if you are referring to Noah's Ark, its believed to be near Mt. Ararat, Turkey- not africa.
