What part of Africa did the human and chimpanzee common ancestor come from?

I am thinking it came near the rainforested area in West Africa that chimps today live but I am not sure.|||Early lineages for humans are found in the Afar triangle where Ethiopia is today. This region is where we find with many hominid fossils of the Pliocene is also a region with many shorelines and a widely fluctuating climate in the critical period. This region with the changing habitat offered new niches to by occupied.
