Is it true that Africa lost proportionally far fewer large mammal species than the Americas or Australia during the Late Quaternary megafauna extinctions?

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 experiencing more moderate extinctions, and a peer-reviewed review likewise finds Sub-Saharan Africa much less affected than the Americas and Australia.
