Mann explores the complex and sophisticated societies of the Americas before the arrival of Europeans. Drawing on new archaeological and historical research, Mann challenges the traditional view of pre-Columbian civilizations as primitive and isolated. The book examines the environmental impact of indigenous peoples, their agricultural innovations, and the vast networks of trade and governance they established. With a focus on demography, ecology, and technology, Mann reveals how these societies shaped the landscape and offers a fresh perspective on the history of the Americas.
