No...it makes us all Africans (I have often joked that all of us in the US are African Americans)...but as Caucasians, middle easterners, Asians, Polynesians, etc...we have all genetically changed and developer traits to favor survival in the environments we evolved in and are different than Black Africans. While we are all genetically similar enough to breed with each other, we are different. Some more than others. According to recent studies, Europeans and Asians even have genes that Africans dont have that we got from interbreeding with Neanderthals.
