MODERN HUMANS natural selection DEVELOPED IN AFRICA VERSUS long ongoing NATURAL SELECTION AMONG ARCHAIC HUMANS OUT OF AFRICA

This is a central moment in human evolution. happened only 50 to 200,000 years ago.
Wouldn't you think that archaic hominid development and mixture, for 100s of thousands of years, 1.5 million really, out of Africa would have an effect on interactions between them and late out of Africa modern humans 50 to 100 thousand years ago?

How to explain the takeover of late modern humans who had not intermixed much for ages with those early out of Africa hominids North of them?

The best theory I can think of is disease spreading with late out of Africa modern humans, giving them an overwhelming advantage similar to that of Europeans invading the New World, where 90% of the indigenous population died of disease.
