The Woodabi ethnic group was probably a matriarchal society because Wodaabi women today can have more then one husband.

They are becoming darker. They are going back to black.
If you go back 30 years ago and earlier, many of them, both men and women were the red ochre color the men paint their faces with, which probably accounts for why that complexion is their beauty ideal.
I have a feeling the gene for the ebony complexion is dominant one over the red/ruddy complexion, which is why the black South Sudanese, Northern Kenyans and Ugandans don't display the ruddy complexion preferred in ancient Egyptian paintings.
