I think that there is some confusion when talking about race here. The hominids that are being discussed that had an African origin would probably not share many characteristics of modern day Africans. Race of coarse is a modern day construct which most paleoentologists ignore or dont really see any use for it. I remember clearly a professor of mine ws asked a question about the " african eve" hypothisis, his answer that the Type of DNA testing that had been done seemed questionable. He was nuked in the press called a racist, probably cost him a head of department job at an ivy league school. Of coarse the hominid animal that was being discussed was not a modern human belonged to hominid but not homo Sapien and of coarse would have belonged to no "racial" type that exists today. In the end the woman who had suggested the Hypotheisis also stated that she thought there had been a problem in the testing. the point I am trying to make is that modern day "race" has little to do with these animals. It ended okay for my professor, who got his dream job but dont confuse these creatures with what we think of modern humans. Attributes such as skin color may have changed over time maybe more than once.

We seem to be evolving smaller dentition and that seems to be a fairly recent change and also it has been suggested that our eyes have only been able to distinguish certain shades of colors such as violet in only the last couple of centuries.
