"It has long been my opinion that our ancestors were in touch by sea that modern-day academics allow when sneering at what they would they largely dismiss as diffusionism. After some years of being interested in the maritime Celts of west Europe, it occurred to me that it might that be interesting to see what was happening further to the south on the coasts of Africa. Having found there was a mass of material scattered in various places in books, articles and several places online, it seemed possible to bring some of this together and these papers attest my efforts to do so. It wll be very obvious that there is an emphasis on west Africa. As much as anything, these papers represent attempts at particularly answering the views frequently stated that west Africans did not go to sea because they were too scared to do so." - H.B.
