The DS lore, in a subtle and fantastical/mythical way, tells an alternative version of humanity and our planet. The furtive pygmies are primitive humans, not Homo sapiens, but earlier versions of them. Hence their appearance and behavior, more similar to animals. The First Flame for the pygmies literally reflects the discovery of fire by humans, which ushered in a new era for primitive humans, into which they entered as kings, gaining more and more power through fire and gradually evolving. From furtive pygmies to humans, just as we from primitive animals to Homo sapiens.The war between the gods and the everlasting dragons is a metaphor for the meteorite impact. The everlasting dragons are dinosaurs that previously ruled the Earth, but it was ultimately fire that consumed them, and this fire that gave power to humans.Oh my hecking science!
