There are various pygmy groups in both Africa and Asia - do they really share a common mythology, or is this page describing the mythology of just one pygmy group? --Camembert

Couldn't find a definitive answer. Pygmy with a capital "P" refers to an ethnic group in Africa; there are other ethnic groups in various places that are "pygmies" with a lower-case "p" because the adult males are below 4'11" or somesuch limit. The Pygmies (capital P) come in a variety of tribes, and I haven't been able to find if the mythology is terribly different, but I theorize it's similar to Polynesian mythology, where the same gods had different names of Fiji, Hawaii, New Zealand, etc. I'm not totally sure and couldn't find a definitive answer, but that's the assumption I'm going on right now. If you discover I'm incorrect, feel free to change it. Tokerboy 02:04 Oct 5, 2002 (UTC)

The last sentence of the third paragraph is unfinished. Tore is possibly what? Or possibly not...
