The Birth of Civilization in Ancient Mesoamerica
When -and for what purposes-did the peoples of pre-Columbian Middle America seek to develop from hunter-gatherers into the creators of some of the most renowned cities in the entire history of ancient civilization? Are all the great civilizations of Mesoamerica-the Maya, Aztecs, Olmecs, Zapotecs, and others-part of one great culture?
