Olmec

Why Ancient Inquiry uses this citation here

Ivan Van Sertima's 1976 claimant work for the modern African-contact genealogy; evidence for the history of the claim only, not archaeological proof of contact or Olmec ancestry.

What this usage does not establish

Bibliographic verification does not by itself establish that the full text was read.

Supporting citation for public claim

AT-0979 documents Van Sertima's modern African-contact argument; it is not archaeological evidence that Africans created or ancestrally constituted Olmec society.

The dossier treats this as an open source and evidence question.
