This is incredibly obvious, even today. In Guatemala, there are two very different groups of people. One group look like ancient Olmecs, with round head, almost negroid noses, just like the ancient Olmec stone heads:

The other look like ancient Mayans. Narrow face, almost Roman noses.

Other Indians in the region have equally different characteristics, that are uniform in their group, but very different from other peoples.

Many times when I look at ancient Egyptian statuary, the people represented resemble no people on Earth to me, as much as they resemble some South American Indians.

(In my experience, this does not go over well with folks who believe that the ancient Egyptians were black Africans, and tell me that we just don’t realize this because invaders defaced the features of the statues from racist motives...)

But many of the statues DO look like South American Indians.

(I wonder which way the boats sailed...:-)
