Olmec Heads: A product of the Americas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Diffusion: Olmec Colossal Heads
REVISED ESSAY: "Olmec Heads: A Product of the Americas."
(Revised September 4, 1996)
**********************************************************************
A question was posed to a public mailing list (Aztlan) asking
why it was racist to suggest, for example, that Olmec Colossal Heads
were actually sculpted by Africans who had crossed the Atlantic Ocean
during Pre-Columbian times. As an Olmec specialist, I could not
resist replying.
The following is a consolidated version of my response, which I have been
requested to write for others' future reference. (Updated 9/4/96)
***********************************************************************
The question (paraphrased to be succinct):
Why is it racist to suggest that Africans voyaged to the New World
in Pre-Columbian times and sculpted the Olmec Colossal Heads,
especially when these naturalistic sculptures show very obviously
negroid features?
My response:
Simply put, this suggestion is considered racist because it is
claiming, without proper evidence, that great artworks ascribed
to one group of people (Mesoamerican Native Americans) are actually
the work of another people (Africans).
In general, those who have insisted that the Olmec Heads have
"negroid" features have not taken the time to look at the area's
Native Americans and how their features correlate with the features
shown on these sculptures; neither have they given much thought
to the idea that the natives could have produced these artworks
themselves.
Even worse, such theories suggest superiority. To suggest that
someone traveled to the New World and created these monuments is to
imply that the natives themselves were not capable of making great
artworks -- that someone had to "make it for them," or at the very
least, "show them how to make it." This is inherently, if not
openly, racist.
This type of theory is directly comparable to racist theories of the
nineteenth century that suggested, for example, that the beautiful Ife
bronze sculptures of Nigeria must have been produced by Greeks visiting
the area (or that Greeks must have shown them how to make them),
because these were so beautifully naturalistic, so different from
the African art found in other areas, and so similar to naturalistic
Greek sculpture. (Archaeological evidence, of course, has proven beyond
a doubt that this was a wholely native Nigerian artform.) This is as
preposterous as suggesting that the European Renaissance artists must
have been SHOWN HOW to paint naturalistically -- that they couldn't
have figured out how to do it themselves, because there wasn't any
evidence of them having done it before.
Some have argued that, since the Olmec Colossal Heads look so very
different from the physiology of Mayan sculptures, the people who
carved them must have been of a different race. Even setting aside the
fact that many "Mayan features" shown on sculptures involved the active
deformation of physiology, this is not a tenable argument; the ancient
peoples of the Gulf Coast were not Mayans -- the Olmec have been shown
to be Mixe-Zoquean, a completely different native group, and there is
no reason to expect them to have Mayan features. Further, the features
represented in the Olmec sculptures -- flat, wide noses and thick,
fleshy lips -- are common to many different Native American cultures,
from the Inuit to the Andeans.
A look at the Native Americans who presently live in the Gulf Coast
area, in fact, reveals striking similarities between these peoples and
the Olmec Heads. There is no reason to believe, from a physiological
standpoint, that the Olmec Heads were not created by these people's
ancestors.
Taking a closer look at these peoples, it is obvious that proponents of
African origin theories have also ignored that the naturalistic Olmec
sculptures show other features that do not exist at all in black African
physiology, but that are common to Native Americans (who trace their
ancestry back to Asians). Most notably, the sculptures have epicanthic
("asian") folds over the eyes, and those that are not shaven have very
straight hair.
Ignoring that these features (fleshy lips, wide noses, epicanthic folds,
and straight hair) are common among many different Native societies
throughout the Americas, some have claimed that this combination of
features indicates a racial mixing of Native Americans with Africans.
Modern-type DNA analysis, however, has so far not shown ANY African
haplotypes among the various Pre-Columbian Amerindian populations
studied.
Finally, there is no concrete archaeological evidence of African
cultures in the New World in Pre-Columbian times -- no imported
animals or plants, no imported artifacts, no imported techniques,
not even any imported materials from which native objects may have
been made. In fact, there is no known black African culture that
produced colossal, naturalistic stone sculptures like the Olmec
Heads.
There is, however, overwhelming archaeological evidence that the
Olmec Colossal Heads were made by and for Native Americans.
In short, those who have claimed the Olmec Colossal Heads to be
of foreign origin have only noticed some superficial physical
similarities with groups of people on the other side of the ocean,
and without any concrete evidence for support, they have given
the credit for these works to far-away foreign cultures. This is
both academically irresponsible and unfair to the cultures that
truly produced them.

gang mentality is in our genes, Our ancestor's Apes, Gorilla's etc. run in packs and so do we. The whole world runs on gangs, and then gangs within those gangs..and gangs within those gangs. America is one huge gang. The babylon's, governer, president, FBI...those dude are straight GANG MEMBERS. They make sure u abide by there rules, they make sure your ALWAYS paying them, and u better believe they will go onto another gangs turf if that turf has something they want (Iraq/oil)...they are the American Government, probably the top gang in the world right now.
as for the millions of small gangs under that gang...i think its too bad they exist. its all about the state of mind the person is in. For me, i wouldnt give a fuck if someone said where i grew up is gay or whatever. There dissing an area of space in the universe that they more then likely know very little about. To the individual there neiborhood is the most important thing ever, but the truth is...if you look at the big picture, the whole world...the whole universe, your little area of space you grew up in vs. this other little area of space right next door to where you grew up in (which are more then likely very very similar and breed very similar types of people) is extremely insignificant
thats my opinion anyway
