Yes its true!,

This review is from: A History of the African-Olmecs: Black Civilizations of America from Prehistoric Times to the Present Era (Paperback)
This book is awesome, some will continue to deny the ever present and overwhelming evidence of the black people in ancient history all over the earth, when european anthropologies clearly put europeans in the dark ages of caves when the black civilizations of the earth flourished. Who we know as the European dates only 3000-6000 year in existance. It is not mine nor your fault that history of my people, didn't make the history books, causing you to respond in disbelief. I employ you to do the research for yourself. In Europe, in Asia, and in the America's. Ask the people of Mexico who thier ancestors are, ask the people of Asia who thier ancestors are, ask your people who are the Moors and the Kemetics(Egyptian). Ask the Jews who the Kusites(Ethiopians) are...and so on... get over yourself and your people hijacking other peoples culture as thier own.

Skeletal Evidence for this theory,
By
This review is from: A History of the African-Olmecs: Black Civilizations of America from Prehistoric Times to the Present Era (Paperback)
Hate to break it to you, folks. But a set of 13 individuals were found in Brazil a few years ago with definite African features. Racial determination is difficult using artwork, such as the Olmec heads, but these skeletons were determined, using multivariate analysis, to be from Africa. They date to 13,000 BC. Since preservation/discovery of skeletal remains is elusive in the jungle; over time more African individuals may be discovered in this area.
I have not read this book...just want to state that this theory should not be dismissed anymore. Also there is other data (botanical) that some plants were transfered back and forth. When I get to my office I'll post a title of a book there. I think it was called 'Africa and the Americas' or something similar. Cheers, Max Davidson Foothill College Dept. of Anthropology

Wide noses and full lips ARE NOT only african traits,
By Xihuitl (Ixachilan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A History of the African-Olmecs: Black Civilizations of America from Prehistoric Times to the Present Era (Paperback)
How stereotypical is it for black people to look at these olmec heads and "assume" theyre african?! get over yourselves! youre not the only people with features like those, and has it ever crossed your minds that people traveled back then and traded items? Also if the olmec were really african dont you think i would look black since im a decendant of natives from mexico? wouldnt the mayans, mexicas, mixtec, zapotec and many more natives just from that area be african? they should of if that theory was true, but they arent and you all need to accept that we natives are the true people of this land and be happy with the tribes in your continent. To belive that the olmecs were black is disrespecful to myself and my people, and its ridiculous that Mr.Barton would lead you to belive this.
