Pygmies have a single origin, so a study suggests.
The study suggests pygmies originated 90,000 or 54,000 years ago.
Until about 800BC, the pygmies were one interbreeding population, when the expansion of non-pygmy population caused genetic divergance.
Pygmies have a genetic mutation that causes them to be small in statue.
khoisan and pygmy populations appear to have same ancestry.
71% of american african ancestry appears to be Niger-Kordofanian.
Khoisan mtdna and y chromosome analysis indicates divergance about 35,000 years ago.
It is suggested that modern human migrated from a point near Angolan/namibian border.
