I have a Strong doubt about that................

Here in Brazil a few "Bush Bananas" exists.................they still have seeds inside of the fruits..............that are small like a human finger..............also the bunches are very small..............only content a 10-12 friuts...........................

Bananas that Indians eat.............seems to be AAB group..............called here "Banana da Terra"....................

I have one here planted in my house..................

I´m not able to track the historic of AAB group................but if you track it.........maybe you find some information about Indian Bananas..............

So............there is a huge possibility that someting came from Polynesia.............arriving in the West Coast of South América.................or Meso América..................

???

Or maybe it is developed from the plants that they found here...................

???
