Now the only one that makes sense to have been the progenitor to man is the Furtive Pygmy, as the word Pygmy itself means one of two things, it either means insignificant, or it means a member of a race of dwarves. Now compared to Gwyn, we are short. Very short....it's like watching Andre the Giant fight Rey Mysterio. With a sword (actually I'd like to see that). Anyway let that sink in. Now, there's another thing that bothers me. After Gwyn handed the everlasting dragons their own assholes on a plate, the fire was beginning to fade, now there were two last ditch efforts, that each ultimately fucked up. The Witch of Izalith who created the Chaos Flame which started the Demon War, which well...distracted Gwyn, and then Gwyn's last ditch effort of being a 'vainglorious liar who ended up hurling himself into the flames'. Seath goes batshit crazy in his archives, Nito well...we're not really too sure what he does down there, and the Four Kings, they messed everything up. Well that's my one in the morning rambling that proves I either need sleep or coffee. Oh yeah and somewhere in that timeline Oolacile happens. Mostly I agree with you but remember one thing: the theory that gods and their kin are giant mostly come from the giantic illsion of Gwynevere (which does not necessarily relect her real size) and the giant Priscilla (whose parents remain unclear, although one of them most likely be Seath. And we do not know from which parent she inherited the size).

Gwyn's real size, like his knights and Gwyndolin, is about a head-taller than the chosen undead. I guess most of his race was about this size (while Artorias seems to be bigger than average), which still was enough to call human race "pygmy" (and ancestors of human WERE shorter in real world; maybe the Pygmy was shorter than human of the era).
