Hereditary and Somatic DNA Mutations
There are two main categories of genetic mutation based on the type of cell they occur in. Changes to a person's DNA can be inherited or acquired after fertilization.

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? Were there “strong continuities” in ancient Mesoamerica that created this one great civilization known as ancient Mesoamerica, that then flourished from 1200 BC to 1521 AD? What factors prompt the birth and define the characteristics of civilization, anyway? A study of Mesoamerica's cultural creation provides many clues.
