Some Kikuyus/Kenyans have a strong Cushitic look

Cushites are an ancient mixture between Nilotic and Egyptian.

That's another Spicy hot take, my friend. I thought Somalis were 60-70% Ancient Nilotic and 30-40% Neolithic Levantine/Mesopotamian. Where does the overlap with Egyptians come from?

Those Late Paleolithic/early Neolithic Levantines entered via Egypt primarily. Hence, I use Egyptian.

Also, Somalis have about ~10% Paleolithic Somali ancestry, lmao not a lot.

And did these Levantines these spread to North-Africa as well, or was it a completely different migration for them? Capsian, Ibero-Maurusian etc.

Please define "Paleolithic Somali ancestry".

Yeah, I don't understand what you mean by "palaeolithic Somali". You mean ancient East African?
