Not only that, our ancestors also basically practiced eugenics, through sexual selection and by killing or expelling members of their communities who behaved inappropriately. This, in part, has shaped modern Europeans in the way we know them (and other peoples who created complex civilizations like Europeans).

Sub-Saharans do this too though with much harsher penalties. Necklacing pedophiles today.

Every peoples does this to some extent (at least naturally), and those who didn't probably mostly died off (or became the shitholes of today).

As for the harsher penalties by sub-Saharan Africans, Europeans used to have penalties at least as harsh at least up to the middle ages.

But then, a concept called human rights developed and spread throughout the West, and caused us to become ever-increasingly softer on scum, something ironically being in part product of the very thing it stopped (removing scum from the gene pool through harsh penalties, amplifying traits like high trust, low agressiveness and empathy in Europeans).

This is another example of why we need eugenics, it's the only way to keep our people (or any human population, for that matter) in good shape genetically without the need for too harsh penalties and simply letting the weak die off.

The point though is that whether Europeans did this more than Africans is unknown and how much this type of eugenics contributed to Europeans. Rather, the environment whites had to evolve to survive in makes much more sense to explain in whole the discrepancy with sub-Saharans. They would have also kept those in the tribe with traits better suited to the environment. In this case, such a thing could potentially be detrimental to sub-Saharans in the long term since their form of eugenics selected for fast runners more than intelligence in the short term.

This, in part, has shaped modern Europeans in the way we know them (and other peoples who created complex civilizations like Europeans).

Although you're also perhaps right because even Mali was a complex civilization.
