This is Luzia, she was 24 years old when she died 11,500 years ago in Brazil. This skeleton is the oldest (dated) skeleton ever found in the Americas. (Sure does not 'fit' anything I learned in school. I wonder why?)
What about the gigantic, ancient Olmec heads in South America that undoubtedly depict African ethnic features?
Ernest_at_the_Beach: No, I didn't, but someone should.
Names for the title of the bump list, anyone?

Olmec Statues
There are eight of these giant head statues. We have all seen the pictures of these statues. The caucasian 'head' is never shown in any of the photographs.(I wonder why?) Source:"They came before Columbus,"Ivan Van Sertoma, 1976.
I believe this is about 7th time I have had to state, that Olmecs including their heads are found only in Mexico, especially at just one site called La Venta. This is near Veracruz, and Olmecs are sometimes stated to have occupied the Gulf Coast lowlands around the area from Veracruz to Villahermosa. At the very widest.
