Description

Charles C. Mann presents a groundbreaking work that challenges our understanding of the Americas before Columbus's arrival in 1492. Contrary to common school teachings, the pre-Columbian Indians did not inhabit a barren desert; instead, they shaped and influenced their surroundings in significant ways. The Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán was a remarkable city with flowing water and impeccably clean streets, rivaling any European contemporary metropolis. The Mexican cultures developed advanced techniques for cultivating maize, considered one of the first achievements in human genetic engineering. This book offers a new perspective on a rich and fascinating world that we thought we knew. Mann sheds light on the methods used to reach these new insights into pre-Columbian America and how they impact our understanding of history and the environment.
