If all that archaic admixture thing is true, that would be cool to have both Neanderthal and archaic Africans traces in your dna. Hope I'll have some of the latter too!

Hate to disappoint, but that seems unlikely.

You're North African, and the West African ancestry of North Africans is similar to the Mandenka, who lack this archaic admixture. On the other hand, you could have some of it from your East African ancestors, although that would be rather miniscule.
