ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus by Charles C. 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.
