>Is there another explanation for why these fossils might have been missing despite early hominines inhabiting Africa?

Most biological and organic things decompose quickly. Every time we find a fossil, we are winning an insanely rigged lottery. We barely have significant remains from 10k year old towns, so you can't really take any info from a supposed lack of fossils
