Potential southward expansion of Cushitic people

I was reading through an interesting paper entitled 'Was there an interchange between Cushitic pastoralists and Khoisan' and in it there was an interesting diagram that proposed that there was a southward movement of cushitic people (wonder what happened to them) What is your own take on this

its interesting how nearly all khoisans are lightskin but most cushitics are dark
It’s not interesting, very simple actually.

Cushitics live near the Equator, whilst the Khoisan live below the Tropic of Capricorn. Basically the Khoisan selected for lighter skin due to an evolutionary advantage.
 
So sad I think Africa would have been better off if it was the cushites that bested the bantus and that there would have been a cushitic expansion of africa instead of bantu expansion

Or worse off becsuse more civil wars instead of more instead of the relatively more peaceful bantoid nations

Bantus are equally if not more violent, look at the constant wars and maniacal genocides that take place in DR Congo and the great lakes region. Actually Cushites are more peaceful and prosperous and they're are more kind and tolerate to other groups. Sadly the Khoisan of today are being harassed and persecuted by the bantu government and are being chased away from the land (as a result they can no longer practice their ancient traditional livelihood of hunting and gathering ).[/QUOTE]
 
What is your proof that tutsi stabilizes Rwanda or that Tutsi Kirundi Baantuu language speaking people are really Kuushiiyiin

Paul Kagame, who is a Tutsi is doing a great job for Rwanda and he is administering growth and prosperity. Let us not forget that it was the blood thirsty bantu hutus that were killing and committing acts of genocide towards the Tutsi if the Tutsis were equally blood thirsty and went at the Hutus there would have been an endless war to the last man. Rwanda would not have known peace it would have been just like the next door neighbour more bantu country of DR Congo, constantly at war and extremely poor in terms of development despite being rich in natural mineral resources
