Invisible Africans: The word African is here being used with a different meaning. Some will oppose (4) who even fit the profile (4) be- cause there is a stigma to being African (as used here); but it largely (not completely) defines one of the 3 major racial types. African here means one who has SOME combination of a mouth and nose which is fuller and hair woolier than 98% of whites and Asians. In first encounters between white nomads or explorers, the people they encountered could be or were called “indigenous” and were found throughout the prehistoric world on every continent; they were mostly African - until miscegenation. The African “look” speedily begins to disappear once an African produces offspring from Asians (2) or whites (e.g. 1, 3). Wooly hair, typical of Africans, becomes relaxed in mixed marriages producing a range from curly (1, 4) to soft-wavy (5, 6, 8, 9), to straight (2, 3, 7) hair. So, in just 1 generation, the African “look” begins to dis- solve. If a settled prehistoric or Bronze Age African community in Africa, Asia, or India were joined by whites or Asians where the newcomers were in numbers greater than the Africans joined, in 2 generations, the culture or civilization would remain but the African “look” would get “lost”; “dissolve.” When pure Africans are seen in ancient art, then, this shows a time before miscegenation - either the pre-encounter of the races, the 1st encounter, or the 1st generation before miscegenation and feature-loss. And mixed-feature populations called non-African are often mis-named and called “white” or “Asian” when, in reality, the culture is African and the people half African in the earliest generations until little is left. And if in an ancient land, the culture began African. ..art, art history, Paul Marc Washington, paleoneolithic@yahoo.com
