But the images you showed CAN'T be taken literally because they are so stylized. If you saw someone that looked like that walking towards you, you'd scream and run. There is no such stylizing of the Olmec heads. They look like real people and if you stood someone with those features on a street corner here in Detroit, he would be instantly identified as a black man.
