In the mountains of Taiwan, there is a folktale of little dark-skinned pygmies who lived alongside the indigenous communities of antiquity. In 2022, the archaeological discovery of a woman's tiny skeleton in the Xiaoma cave complex indicated that the folktales might just be true. I traveled to Taiwan specifically to learn about the Xiaoma Lady and the indigenous communities of Taiwan, whose history stretches back over 15,000 years to a time when the island was still connected to the mainland. Hiking in the deep jungles with monkeys and birds, I traveled back in time to an era of Taiwanese history that has long been neglected by the modern world.
