Since the pattern of cranial differentiation reflects a great proportion of population history and considering previous studies, the first hypothesis to be tested is that pygmy populations form an homogenous group with respect to non-pygmies, thus we expect that the greatest morphological difference is obtained in the comparison between pygmies' and non-pygmies'.
