Peoples almost totally devoid of material techniques, such as Pygmies and Bushmen, retain a background of rather complex religious structures that have not passed through the stage of an "original totemism", presupposed by a certain cultural anthropology of an evolutionary setting as one of the obligatory stages. of a hypothetical progressive trend. Hence the hypothesis of a very ancient diffusion of these pygmoid populations, perhaps to be put in relation with the Old Testament figure of Lilith and with other mythical characters of the archaic traditions, such as Vamana, the fifth avatara of Vishnu, who significantly appears in the sacred iconography with the likeness of a dwarf.
