They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick ’em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin’ peep, peep, peep
They got grubby little fingers
And dirty little minds
They’re gonna get you every time

Just more proof that the legends of “little hairy men” reportedly seen around the world are more than stories.

Yeah, and there’s a whole bunch of these to be found in the eastern portion of Zaire. (And probably lots of bones, too.)
They’re called “pygmies”.

“genetic isolation”? Is that like inbreeding? Guess that might produce some odd characteristics.
