Pygmy Kitabu is based on the travels of Jean-Pierre Hallet through central Africa from 1947 through 1960 and his extensive interactions with the isolated Efé Pygmies of the Congo. His accounts provide a unique anthropological source of information of the Congo basin during that period.
The Efé Pygmies have been shown to be one of the oldest intact civilizations on Earth by dNA studies, and this book is one of the few in-depth works detailing their extraordinary culture.
A movie version based on events from this book and his other books, Congo Kitabu and Animal Kitabu, is in pre-production and is tentatively scheduled for release in 2009.
