That is completely true, and I forgot about it. There are other parasites in Africa, but probably none as important as the mosquito-carried group. Thanks for correcting me.
I still think there are other arguments to be made to the same end. A lot of historical contigency was needed to make this particular world. Even the biggest plausible inter-group variation claimed by HBD isn’t big enough to overcome that and overdetermine outcomes.

Yes, and a lot of that contingency led to different populations being selected for different things.
