Baka Pygmies
One of the most comprehensive on-line sites about the Baka Pygmy can be found here. Kindly note the copyright notice on the site.Photo: Pygmy house provided by scottrwelch via flickr. Pygmies
Pygmy is a term used for various ethnic groups worldwide whose average height is unusually low; anthropologists define pygmy as any group whose adult males grow to less than 150 cm (4 feet 11 inches) in average height.Encyclopedia Britannica: Pygmy A member of a slightly taller group is termed pygmoid.http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/484569/pygmoid The best known pygmies are the Aka, Efé and Mbuti of central Africa. There are also pygmies in Thailand, Malaysia,The Negrito of Malaysia. Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and Brazil.http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10283306 Darwin's Children The term also includes the Negritos of Southeast Asia. The remains of at least 25 miniature humans, who lived between 1,000 and 3,000 years ago, were found on the islands of Palau in Micronesia.Pygmy human remains found on rock islands, Science | The Guardian.
The term "pygmy" is sometimes considered pejorative. However, there is no single term to replace it that covers all African pygmies.Hewlett, Barry S. "Cultural diversity among African pygmies." In: Cultural Diversity Among Twentieth-Century Foragers. Susan Kent, ed. Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press, 1996. Many so-called pygmies prefer instead to be referred to by the name of their various ethnic groups, or names for various interrelated groups such as the Aka (Mbenga), Baka, Mbuti, and Twa.Forest peoples in the central African rain forest: focus on the pygmies. The term Bayaka, the plural form of the Aka/Yaka, is sometimes used in the Central African Republic to refer to all local Pygmies. Likewise, the Kongo word Bambenga is used in Congo.
