pygmies

     

Pygmies (singular: Pygmy) refers to various Nilo-Saharan an Niger-Congo speaking peoples of central Africa whose adults have an average height of 150 centimeters (4 feet 11 inches) or shorter. The term is also sometimes applied to the so-called Negrito peoples living in isolated parts of Southeast Asia, and occasionally indiscriminately to individuals of unusually short stature.
