It seems africans have a certain degree of admixture with a primitive hominid, an event happened some 40.000 years ago.

It seems from that small piece that it may just be the pygmies here.

I heard Neanderthals were technically Human. But anyways.. it makes sense to me that Africans mixed with other hominids. Perhaps that's what is holding them back.
