I assume their ancestors' diet was very inferior when compared to Europeans, and they didn't consume as much raw dairy, milk, and lactase/calcium rich foods that make your bones grow since Africa is poor, so how did they grow taller than white Americans and Europeans?

Actually, African height is mostly down to genetics (longer limbs to shed heat), constant sun for Vitamin D, and an ancestral diet rich in fish and greens, not just dairy like in Europe
