I don't know about your prediction, but it seems that the Daily Mail story itself is erroneous, because it implies that the Masai are hunter/gatherers, whereas in reality they are planters and herders.

Also, they don't live in 'mud huts':

"The huts take seven months to build by the women of the village. They are built of branches, twigs, grass, and cow dung and urine formed into a plaster and applied to a branch frame. When the mixure dries in the sun it is as strong a cement and does not smell. "
