Sandawe people

All I know is that they’re a super ancient bushmen ethnic group and aboriginal to Tanzania, anyone know if they have cushitic admixture? The ones in the video have this cushitic look

"We found that Hadza and Sandawe individuals share ancestry distinct from and most closely related to Omotic ancestry; share Khoisan ancestry with populations such as ≠Khomani, Karretjie, and Ju/’hoansi in southern Africa; share Niger-Congo ancestry with populations such as Yoruba from Nigeria and Luhya from Kenya, consistent with migration associated with the Bantu Expansion; and share Cushitic ancestry with Somali, multiple Ethiopian populations, the Maasai population in Kenya, and the Nama population in Namibia. We detected evidence for low levels of Arabian, Nilo-Saharan, and Pygmy ancestries in a minority of individuals. Our results indicate that west Eurasian ancestry in eastern Africa is more precisely the Arabian parent of Cushitic ancestry. Relative to the Out-of-Africa migrations, Hadza ancestry emerged early whereas Sandawe ancestry emerged late."

Interesting I didn’t know they were mostly related with omotics, did they originate from Ethiopia?

They are not pure Khoisan or Omotic. They have absorbed Bantus and South Cushites.
