The archaeological and craniometric measurements show that
the Solutreans were Africans, namely Bushmen or Khoisan. The Aurignacian
civilization was founded by the Cro-Magnon people who originated in Africa.
They took this culture to Western Europe across the Straits of Gibraltar. The
Cro-Magnon people were probably Bushman/Khoi.
There have been numerous "Negroid skeletons" found
in Europe. Marcellin Boule and Henri Vallois, in Fossil Man, provide an entire
chapter on the Africans/Negroes of Europe Anta Diop also discussed the Negroes
of Europe in Civilization or Barbarism, pp.25-68. Also W.E. B. DuBois,
discussed these Negroes in the The World and Africa, pp.86-89. DuBois noted
that "There was once a an "uninterrupted belt' of Negro culture from
Central Europe to South Africa" (p.88).
Many researchers have recognized that the Solutrean culture
of Iberia probably originated in Africa(Burkitt, 2012; Childe, 2001; Debenath
et al.,1986; Debenath and Dibble, 1994; Tiffagom, 2007). It is the mainstream
view of Spanish prehistorians that the Solutrean culture originated in Africa
(Pericot,1950). Boule and Vallois (1957) noted that ancient tool kits found in
South African burials along the coast are associated with the Solutrean
industry. Pericot (1950, 1955) believed that the tanged points at the Parpallo
site of the Solutrean were of Aterian cultural origin. Burkitt (2012) said that
there were Algerian tools similar to the Solutrean tool kit. Gordon Childe
(2009) claimed that the North African and Spanish populations that used the
Solutrean tools were in direct communication. By the 1960’s, though, Smith (54)
was able to reject the hypothesis of an African origin for the Solutrean
culture.
Boule and Vallois in , Fossil Men : elements of human
palaeontology, noted that "We know now that the ethnography of South
African tribes presents many striking similarities with the ethnography of our
populations of the Reindeer Age. Not to speak of their stone implements which,
as we shall see later , exhibit great similarities, Peringuey has told us that
in certain burials on the South African coast 'associated with the
Aurignacian or Solutrean type industry...."(p.318-319). They add,
that in relation to Bushman art " This almost uninterrupted series leads
us to regard the African continent as a centre of important migrations which at
certain times may have played a great part in the stocking of Southern Europe.
Finally, we must not forget that the Grimaldi Negroid skeletons sho many points
of resemblance with the Bushman skeletons". They bear no less a
resemblance to that of the fossil Man discovered at Asslar in mid-Sahara, whose
characters led us to class him with the Hottentot-Bushman group.
