Is there any significant history surrounding North/South America

Central/South America is better in this respect because they at least possessed a few "civilizations," and some were accomplished enough to invent writing.

But overall we have few concrete names and dates, just patterns we can extrapolate based on genetic, archaeological, and linguistic observations. We know for example that the Inuit are members of one of the most recent waves of migrants, that the Navajo were "invasive" in the sense that they displaced several older native cultures, that people somehow got to Peru/Chile before most of the rest of the Americas, etc.

But in the pedantic interpretation of the word "history," then no, we have tragically few written records of events, and those that do exist are centralized in a scant few locations.

Why is that so? Did the savages just not know how to write?

>>2136164
Writing has only been independently developed a handful of times in the history of humanity, roughly once on each continent. Not being able to write doesn't make them savages.

Most people don't know how to write unless writing has already been established and there are systems for learning it. Independently inventing writing is another deal altogether, it's only happened three times for sure in human history, and one was in Mesoamerica.

Their writing system is arguably the least practical out of all of them but it does demonstrate that natives were capable of inventing civilization independently.

"Savages" is a meme term by the way, family.

Only the Maya had a written language of Hieroglyphs, then the Spanish missionaries came along and, well, you know the rest I'm sure.

I'm afraid you'll have to go back.

At least be honest with your OP. I think something like this will be more appropriate next time.
