BaMbuti Pygmies

The BaMbuti are a group of Pygmies of the Ituri Forest of eastern Congo. They are the shortest group of Pygmies in Africa. Pygmies are small people kind of like midgets and they are black. Most of the Pygmies live in Africa, and there are many different tribes or groups of Pygmies all over Africa. The BaMbuti tribe live on the Ituri Forest on the eastern part of Congo. These Pygmies average under 4 feet 6 inches (137 cm) in height, and are perhaps the most famous ones that exist. Besides from being small in stature, they also differ in blood type from their Bantu- and Sudanic-speaking agriculturalist neighbours, and they are probably the earliest inhabitants of the area. Archaeological evidence is lacking, but early Egyptian records show that the Bambuti were living in the same area some 4,500 years ago.
