Mayans are small people with big culture

Mayans are little people; hardy, friendly, patient and enduring. Their last names are not Hernandez or Rodregiez but Puc, Xiu and Cob. Yes, they are still with us. I was surprised as somewhere in my mind I've gathered some misinformation about them being long gone. What is gone is their vast body of knowledge, 99% destroyed by the Spanish and, of course, their religious practices, which in their later periods involved blood sacrifice of mindbogglingly proportions.
Today's Mayans are still minute, especially when compared northern European stock. Interestingly, they have no body hair, mustaches or beards but have exceptional shocks of hair on their heads. This hair never goes gray or white and never thins. They have perfect teeth and eye-sight throughout their lives. I wish I had a some of that.
