[Ah, there we are.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/ab/A_mud_house_in_a_rural_area_in_Nigeria.jpg/1920px-A_mud_house_in_a_rural_area_in_Nigeria.jpg)
The Wikipedia article is pretty depressing. You either have North African/Middle Eastern mosques as the prime examples, or you have the mud huts and stone piles of SS Africa (outside of the "European influences" and "Post-colonial" sections). Open the "Architecture in Germany" page and you have downright majestic structures. One of the more African-looking stone stacks allegedly dates back 350,000 years! Wild. By ~700 BC, they were already framing houses with more advanced methods and tech than what we see in uncolonized Africa *today*.
And yet "only one race human race" people exist.
I view *races* as subspecies of humans, but human nonetheless.
My man, by several millennia at best. They were in the stone age (similar to the natives in America) until the Europeans showed up... that's a difference of 4,000 years, *at best*. There was no indication that they were "just about to figure out metalurgy when we showed up," so really you're probably talking at least 50,000 years of difference, which is enough time to turn a Canis lupus into Canis familiaris. That's IF they were even on a trajectory to figure out metalurgy at all, which isn't guaranteed.
They are as different as wolves are from dogs, horses from zebras, etc.
