Why are the olmecs called the black olmecs?

The term "Black Olmecs" is often used to refer to the Olmec civilization of ancient Mesoamerica, particularly in discussions about their potential African ancestry or the physical appearance of some Olmec sculptures that depict individuals with features associated with sub-Saharan Africans. Some scholars have debated the racial and ethnic identities of the Olmec people, but there is no definitive evidence to support claims of direct African influence or ancestry. The Olmecs are primarily recognized for their significant contributions to early Mesoamerican culture, including their art, architecture, and religious practices. The use of "Black Olmecs" can be controversial and is not widely accepted in mainstream anthropological discourse.
