The "little people" were, if we can believe their skeletons found along the coast in North Africa, were very similar to the Kalahari Bushmen. Presumably they ranged up into the British Isles from an earlier time before ocean levels rose.
Today's Bushmen have peppercorn hair growing in "tufts" like Mongolian grass.

I've read at least one anthropologist speculate that the Leprechauns of Irish myth were in fact Bushmen.
