<HTML>Hi Anthony,

Except his sentence doesn't say there has been work showing the indigenious origins for the Olmec Heads and gives the reasons why he disagrees with it. Instead he ignores the work. If he wasn't satisfied then he should have said "I am not satisfied with the explanations put forward by orthodox scholars as to the origins of the Olmec Heads". His explanation claims they represent people other than the indigenuous Indians and so any work which proves they do is refutting his position.

Indegnious wording most definitely, but for once stepping on the "wrong" side of the line.

>Of course, anybody that knows South American anthropology
>immediately recognizes the facial features as distinctly indigenous... but
>it does make for fun reading.

That it does:-)
