Why did great civilizations develop in Central America but North America was mostly just mud huts and teepees?
>>
Because that's how anthropology works.
>>
>>69598617
i dunno lol
>>
Harder living conditions. They had to follow the herds. Pueblo built impressive buildings but had to abandon them to become nomads again to stay alive.
>>
>>69598617
Ancient Aryans from Atlantis spread their knowledge there before their homeland got flooded
>>
>>69598617
greater food density, natural borders make marking territorry is easier , no fucking midwest winter. North America is basically steppe culture.
>>
Because the original North Americans were black.
>>
>>69598617
population density was way higher in central america. instead of using tech to steal your neighbor's shit you just had to move around.
>>
Agriculture originated in central America, and it took time to spread north because the crops had to be cultivated for colder and colder climates.

Sort of like how agriculture originated in the middle East, and took time to spread to Europe.

>>69598724
Population density being higher in central America is partly because they had agriculture for longer, which enabled them to have a higher population.
>>
Black people traveled from Western Africa, which is closer to Central America than North America.
>>
>>69598617
2 people per square mile
>>
The Mississippians and Iroquois built nicer things than mudhuts and teepees even if they weren't as advanced as the Mesoamericans
>>
Tfw no north amerindian bf
>>
>>69598617
>amerindians: limited savage edition

yea a "great" civilization alright.
>>
Niggers are attracted to the equator where the sun fulfills the "GIBSMEDAT" energy requirement with no contributing members of humanity complaining.
>>
>>69599005
Maybe you shudda thought of that before you systematically exterminated them all
>>
>>69599063
Maybe they should have developed some sort of biological resistance to smallpox.
>>
>>69599090
The ones that did just got killed by you.
>>
>>69599090
Honestly no one even knows how smallpox got on to those blankets , r-right guys?
>>
>>69599130
We only did the smallpox blanket thing once. Far more common was shooting 'em or rounding 'em up and dumping them in places with no food or water

The Teotihuacanos and Aztecs of central Mexico had the core of their territories west of the Tehuantepec isthmus aka North America, the Toltecs extended as far north as Durango and Tamaulipas, this state (which borders the US) also being later occupied by the Huastecs who were bronze working peoples.

In the Mexican northwest Paquimé (in the state of Chihuahua and very near the US border) built pictured which I think is fair to say goes beyond mud huts, these people worked copper and produced high quality ceramics and were traders as well with connections reaching to central Mexico.

There were some worthy civilizations in what is today the US but I only speak for Mexico, which was certainly home to advanced civilizations in north America.

I live in Colorado near an Ute reservation. The savages do nothing but drink, huff paint varnish, beat, and rape their own children. Should have just listened to Phil Sheridan and exterminated all of them.
>>
>>69599005
go to southern mexico or guatemala
>>
>>69599233
WE

>>69599189
Honestly it all started with Columbus killing,raping, and enslaving the natives. If he had just treated them fairly maybe they wouldn't have gotten so fucked by the successive generations.
>>
>>69599292
Vinland settlers did that, they just got integrated over the centuries. Can't build a short-lived empire like that.
>>
>>69599271
Yes, we Mexicans as a people, who do you think dark skinned Mexicans descend from?
>>
>>69599363
The dark-skinned Spaniards?
>>
>>69599398
