While the stature of pygmies is well-suited to tropical rainforests, the mechanisms underlying their growth remain poorly understood. In order to decipher these mechanisms, a team of scientists studied a group of Baka pygmies in Cameroon. Their findings revealed that their growth rate differed completely from that of another pygmy cluster, despite a similar adult height, which implies that small stature appeared independently in the two clusters.img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/~4/_rJwSpVnh1M” height=”1″ width=”1″ alt=””/
