This doesn’t mean, by the way, that I support racism or anything like that. Factually, modern Africans did not “evolve” or mutate into modern-day non-African populations. Rather, a founder group left Africa, and due to a population bottleneck, genetic diversity was reduced. Over the next ~70,000 years, those populations evolved their own unique traits.
This means we haven’t been Africans in a direct sense. We share a common ancestor, but genetically, African populations have continued evolving as well, adapting to their own environments for tens of thousands of years. Modern-day Africans are not genetic fossils; they are genetic cousins.
We branched out—obviously we are the same species—but sharing a common ancestor does not mean we are that common ancestor.
