Is it true that Africa lost far fewer large mammal species in the Late Pleistocene than the Americas and Australia did?

Yes. A reference overview reports Late Pleistocene megafaunal extinction rates of 72% in North America, 83% in South America and 88% in Australia, with Africa and South Asia experiencing more moderate extinctions, and other sources confirm severe large-mammal losses in the Americas and Australia.
