The diversity in Africa has always been lauded. “Home to the most genetically diverse people on Earth. So diverse that two Africans are more genetically different from each other than a Chinese and a European are from each other.”
Cradle of civilisation . Beautiful continent.
Also let’s not create generalisations and monoliths out of people.
African genetic diversity is a myth. Genetic study on African populations prove it. The genetic difference between pure African blacks like Nigerians and Ghanaians, as a group, is at the same level as Japanese and Koreans. That is, there is basically no genetic difference between true black people in West and Central Africa.
The generic diversity of Africa only appears when one factors in the peoples residing in Africa whom are Arab invaders, descendants of Arab invaders, whites , etc. In other words, "African peoples" who aren't black in the first place and are Caucasian or Caucasian adjacent. These includes the Maghrebi and Arabs who lord over black pharaohic remains in Egypt, as well as some many Horners (nothing against them in saying this, it's just inaccurate to characterize their features as black;, it is like characterizing a South American mestizo as white representative ).
Take the aforementioned Caucasian and Caucasian adjacent people (as indicated by their genetic history, which traces to Southern Europe and the Middle East), out of the African question, and Africans are genetically monolithic. Egyo
For perspective, consider that Long Tut's genes have a 98% black race match. Consider now that there are no full blacks within leagues of his tomb, only Caucasian and Caucasian adjacent. Suffice to say, Tut's race presupposes the entire Egyptian region was a native Black monolithic race some 2000,years ago. What it is now has no bearing on Blacks, except that we lost the region.
