Are pygmies really humans?
user
Pygmies are a subset of the human species and, as such, they are fully-developed humans that have been adapted to living in forest environments. They are indigenous to certain areas of Africa and they live just like any other human with their own culture, language, and beliefs.  They are typically shorter than average due to hormones that influence physical growth.

Yes, pygmies are humans and their ancestors developed differently from other Homo species due to genetic adaptations, which resulted in smaller size.
