Publisher's Synopsis

The Pygmies is a book written by Armand De Quatrefages and published in 1895. The book is a detailed study of the Pygmies, a group of indigenous people who are known for their short stature and unique cultural practices. Quatrefages provides a comprehensive overview of the Pygmies, including their physical characteristics, social organization, religious beliefs, and interactions with other cultures. He also explores the history of Pygmy studies, including the myths and misconceptions that have surrounded these people for centuries. The book is based on Quatrefages' own observations as well as the work of other scholars who have studied the Pygmies. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in anthropology, African cultures, or the history of human evolution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
