Descripción

In general, an anthropological term referring to any human group whose adult males grow to less than 59 inches (150 cm) in average height. Specifically, refers to the collective style and culture of various African peoples living in Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo Republic, Central African Republic, Rwanda, and Burundi who are typically of Pygmy stature. Use of "Pygmy" for a culture is considered pejorative; where possible use instead the most specific name for the subgroup.
