Except for Africans, we do have a common ancestor called neanderthals. You're misconstruing the dimentionality of the multiple ancestral branches in the linage -- a genetic neighbor does not imply that they are the same. The further back it goes is still difficult to determine, but it can be traced to more recent genotypes.
What I've posted is of course a simplified version of the history, but serves to illustrate the point.

according to your chart the africans share an ancestor with us

A million years ago perhaps... we also share an ancestor with fish if you go back far enough.
