Photo gallery with soundscapes and quotes from the book The Forest Has You BAKA PYGMIES - FILED TEETH (CAMEROON)African Rainforest & Pygmy Peoples Baka girl with filed teeth (Baka Pygmies, Cameroon). "She doesn't say a word. But just by looking at her you feel as if she has spoken. Her body tells stories: it is covered with cuts, holes, ritual scars, filed down teeth. All marks and signs going back through the years to a time when the Grande Piste was nothing more than a track, and you could make your clothes out of bark from the trees..."
