This map shows the geographical spread of present-day African pygmies. Dark green areas represent forested regions thought to have existed in west-central and east-central Africa around 18,000 years ago, shortly after a new genetic study estimates that an ancestral pygmy population split into western and eastern groups. Tan areas represent the locations of present-day pygmy populations. Credit: E. Patin, adapted from Bahuchet (1996)
