Just to clarify: as the article points out with the image from Wikipedia, the distinction of "some African lineage and essentially everybody else" (i.e. the small-ish group of Africans most populations outside Africa can be traced back to versus the genetic diversity within Africa) does not follow racial lines in any meaningful way.
Not only are modern humans all the same species, but race lacks any biological coherence unless you draw the lines exclusively between Black African populations and lump everybody else in with one of them -- which probably isn't what most "race realists" had in mind.
