Polymorphic Alu insertions among Mayan populations. Herrera, R. J. 1 herrerar@fiu.edu, Rojas, D. P. 1, Terreros, M. C. 1
Journal of Human Genetics; Feb 2007, Vol. 52 Issue 2, p129-142:
A chart displays specific genetic insertions across the world--and the Mayans (who many believe came from the Olmecs--see below) do not contain any.
Unfortunately, I cannot display the chart, but the two West African populations are at the extreme left and the Mayan and other Native Indian populations are clustered close together on the extreme right.
If contact was made, why is there no genetic proof?
And then I came across the following article:
HLA Genes in Mexican Mazatecans, the Peopling of the America and the Uniqueness of Amerindians. Arnaiz-Viiena, A., et. al., Tissue Antigens 2000, Vol. 56, pgs. 405-416.
"An indirect evidence of Olmec and Mayan relatedness is further suggested, further supporting the notion that Olmecs may have been the precursors of the Mayans...
"Peopling of the Americas was probably more complex than postulated...Specific genetic input from outside is not noticed in Meso and South America Amerindians..." (from the abstract.)
The article does state that the Spaniard explorers did observe large populations of dark skinned people. In it's brief history segment, the authors list archeological evidence to the idea that other races came to assist the Olmecs. One of the strongest cases for this, according to the authors, is the observations of the Spaniards. They report Negroids in the Caribbean, parts of Mexico and in South America.
Nonetheless, if this is true--and the archeological record seems to state it is (but does not give any dates--at least not in this article--so it is possible Africans came after Columbus), then why is the genetic input so pure? Humans explore and conquer, humans mate and have off spring, humans rape and leave genetic evidence behind.
And where are the observations of Africans living in North America?
And why are the pyramids of the Olmecs dated earlier than those of Nubia, Egypt, and Western Africa?
So the mystery continues.

Your looking in the wrong direction. Africans have no connection to the Americas. The original American Indians were races of negros from the Pacific Islands and Australia. Look up BBC the First Americans were Black Aborigines. Black ppls are indigenous to the planet not Africa. Revisit colonial America. Contray to whats shown on tv mini series like Roots the importations of slaves to the Americas and West Indies was not Africans but white English children who had been trafficked as sex slaves by elite pedophiles. The people currenlty calling themsleves African Ameircans are the American Indians found here by the Europeans.

African slavery through Arab traders sent to the New World is a fact, but yes, white people were the first slaves into America--followed very shortly by Africans.
