They don't give you that percent because the question makes as much sense as asking "how much of my dog is canine?". Homo sapiens evolved from a population of Homo erectus in Africa; other populations that had spread out into the greater Old World evolved into other species(such as the Neanderthals and Denisovans) before H. sapiens decided to go on a global rape-and-pillage spree.

Okay not saying you're wrong, what I read said the sub saharans have DNA admixture from homonids that europeans don't have. For example they have 0% neanderthal but a variety of homonids that are now extinct but that lived with them. Europeans have on average 2% neanderthal DNA. So if that's true then the what you're saying still makes sense?

I have another question too, if subsaharans have DNA admixture from primitive hominids that were not as smart as neanderthal and that europeans do not have in their DNA, how come 23and me withholds those DNA results but includes neanderthal to european acenstry? Is there an agenda there?

The two species I mentioned(Neanderthals and Denisovans) are the only ones that are well-documented. I believe a differential analysis of Africans has revealed a third likely to exist on the western part of the continent, but there's no further proof this "ghost species" was actually real.
