Science News / African Pygmies May Be Older Than Thought: "Despite their diminutive size, African pygmies have taken a giant step back in time. A new genetic investigation indicates that common ancestors of these hunter-gatherers and their taller, farming neighbors diverged approximately 60,000 years ago."

This puts the pygmies at the origin o homo sapiens sapiens, about 60,000 years ago was the time speaking, worshiping, innovative man appeared. I wonder how the pygmy and the 'san relate to one another?An 18th century drawing of Khoikhoi worshipping the moon
