The endangered African "pocket nation" was only 1.3 meters tall and got married at the age of 8

African Pygmies, also known as Negrillo, are a nation in the tropical forest region of central Africa. They are known as the "pocket nation" of Africa. The average height of adults is 1.30 to 1.40 meters.

Now, the Pygmies are on the verge of extinction in the world. They can get married when they are 8 years old.

Zaire, Congo, Gabon, Cameroon, Central Africa, Rwanda, Burundi, Uganda and Angola, which are mainly distributed in Africa, admire forests like elves in the deep forest. Men hunt and women collect trees and fruits. To this day, the primitive tribal form is maintained, with no concept of private ownership, property is owned by the collective, blood is calculated according to the patriline, and monogamy is strictly implemented.

Today, governments in China and Africa have taken measures to help them change their lifestyles, get out of the forest, and integrate into modern social life. However, the vast majority of Pygmies are still attached to the lifestyle of their ancestors and like to continue to live a closed and primitive life.
