Summary: Author argues against the Out of Africa theory and instead proposes the Out of Eurasia theory. In this model different humans arose in Eurasia and there was movement of human subspecies into Africa during the ice ages over hundreds of thousands of years when the Sahara desert was traversable. This would explain why Africa is the most genetically diverse continent, because they were getting an introgression of genes from Eurasia over hundreds of thousands of years. It would also explain why there are Asian-looking black people in South Africa and why Africans were recently found to be 0.3% neanderthal even though neanderthals lived only in Eurasia. He argues that because Africa didn't have the harsh environment of Eurasia they were always a few steps behind evolutionary, and genes for intelligence and cooperation were not advantageous.
He claims that West Africans like Nigerians are the most pure of the black race and this is who American blacks descend from. He claims that East Africans look more caucasian because this region was one of the main entry points from Eurasia into Africa. He also claims that Europeans get their features from neanderthals.

Congoids
Because the Congoids are the most simian Africans and live in one of the areas most inaccessible to Eurasian migrants into Africa, they are likely to be descended from some of the oldest hominoids that migrated into Africa. The tropically-adapted traits of the Congoids, e.g., dark, hairless skin and short, wooly black head hair, were most likely brought into Africa by a tropics-specialized bipedal ape, probably a species of Australopithecus. Although Hs and Hss migrated south into both SE Asia and Africa, displacing more primitive hominids, in SE Asia the primitive hominids were driven onto islands and there was less interbreeding with them. In Africa, however, Hs and Hss did not survive as well. As a result, fewer Hs and Hss alleles entered the African genome, especially the more isolated Congoids, who therefore retained more of the simian traits of their ape ancestors
