Vesa @Vesa The most commonly known 'Pygmies', we know we relate from Africa. That's who these are, always known as a being short. However 'Pygmie' tribes that are relatives are somewhat spread out as far as Indonesia. This was the largest group, discovered first by British explorers. People know little, now a small % are left. -Vesa
