Why are Habeshas so disproportionately light skinned compared to Somalis?
Habesha= Majority Cushitic with Omotic + Semitic ancestry.
Oromo= Majority Cushitic + Omotic
Somali, Afar, Beja= Cushitic

The Omotic admixture has made Oromos and Habeshas shorter, plus it gives them kinkier hair on average compared to Somalis. The Semitic ancestry in the Habesha makes them appear lighter then the Oromos and us Somalis.

I don't think this is true to be honest. Maybe we adapted our skin colour darker over thousands of years. Habeshas don't have more than ~10 % Semitic ancestry, not much.
