They don't have a nasal sill? It's a pretty dead give away.
Also you couldn't be more wrong about Caucasions coming from the Khoisan. We come from the non-Khoisan branch of evolution as do all out of Africa populations. I think you must of read a Mitochondrial DNA tree incorrectly. Seriously go back and look it up.
Are you a Doctor of Osteology?
Would you please be more specific, as to the definition of "nasal slit", to which you refer.
There are several foramina near the crista galli and cribriform.
I can find no reference to any disparate olfactory foramen structures, between the two groups cited.
Khoisan people represent 'earliest' branch off human family tree (Wired UK)
Similar to findings from Y-Chromosome studies, mitochondrial DNA studies also showed evidence that the Khoe–San people carry high frequencies of the earliest haplogroup branches in the human mitochondrial DNA tree. The most divergent (oldest) mitochondrial haplogroup, L0d, have been identified at its highest frequencies in the southern African Khoe and San groups.[15][12][16][17] The distinctiveness of the Khoisan in both matrilineal and patrilineal groupings is a further indicator that they represent a population historically distinct from other Africans.
The nasal sill in simple terms is a sharp protuberance of bone at the bottom of the nasal cavity and top of the maxilla, it juts out over the maxilla. If you're of European descent you can probably feel it by getting a finger and resting it above your top lip and feeling upwards to the base of your nose. If you're of African descent you simply won't have one.
What you are saying about the Khoisan is true and supports what I am saying. You see the Khoisan branched off from our common ancestor first and the people who would eventually become Europeans branched off from that common ancestor later.
You see all humans have a common ancestor and then there were multiple branches off of that. Some branched off earlier than others. These branches became separate evolving groups that then branched off further. But the key here is that after branching off they were separate evolving groups that went on to make further branches.
That is why when you say "all Caucasoid evolved from Khoisan people" it is clear you don't know what you are talking about. You think because they branched off from the common ancestor first that means everything else branched off of them but if you had more knowledge you would realize how silly that is. To be simple picture a tree growing to full size, one branch has to be the first branch to grow off of the trunk(the common ancestor) but that doesn't mean every other branch then grows off of that first branch just because it is first :D. Branches keep coming off of the trunk.
I can find no credible information whether or not Capoid (modern Khoisan) people have a nasal sill or not. To tell you the truth, I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference from a skeleton (or skull) unless I was trained in Forensic Anthropology or a similar or related field of study.
This feature might or might not have been inherited from a later hybridization, with the closely related Neanderthals.
There was more than one migration out of Africa. There were at least six separate migration events, and possibly more, from the ancestral A Haplogroup. Then there were also several back migrations, back into Africa.
To clarify my previous statement, such that it is more accurate: All modern humans, except the Bantu or Congoid peoples who have not admixed, are descended from common ancestors who today are predominantly the Capoid (Khoisan) people, the Australoid people, The Caucasoid people, the Mongoloid people, and several other less well known groups, with various degrees of admixture and hybridization.
Is that better? (Still not perfect).
Your description of how trees grow, is inaccurate.
Trees grow by means of an extension of their apical meristems. These are located at the twigs and the tips of non-woody roots.
New branches will typically not form on a stem [trunk] or older branch, unless the tree is stressed. Then latent buds will be activated, causing epicormic branching. This should be avoided, as these are weak branch attachments.
Which group of people do you believe is the most discriminated against

That's not entirely accurate.
