We're all mixed and 99% alike in DNA

Because obviously most Africans didn't leave Africa so weren't as affected by the bottleneck, didn't interbreed with neanderthals, etc.

This is why they have the most genetic diversity. There is more genetic diversity in sub Saharan Africa than the whole rest of the world. They even have their own blood groups down there.

Genetic diversity doesn't mean what you think it does. What are you even trying to say with that measurement? It is not an argument

Also you are not making sense. We cannot be a subset of Africans because we do not have their 2-19% archaic admixture. Do you understand that? Africans have mixed with a species 400-700k years old that we do not have in our genetics.
Did that happen after the Ice Age too? Lol get real.
