If you mean “sub-Saharan African people”, then actually there is more, 
since humans have been in sub-Saharan Africa longer than they have been 
anywhere else put together.

The most homogeneous part of the population would likely be the Bantu 
expansion. Then you have interesting regions like Ethiopia, which packs 
more diversity into one country than many entire chunks of continent can 
offer.

And of course, that little corner happens to be just about right on top of 
the spot where the earliest remnants of humanity have been discovered.

Coincidence? You be the judge.
