If we had all those crops here than our Indian civilizations might have become more civil. Instead of resorting to sacrifices and rituals to recieve blessings from the Gods. <br />However, if you mean that humans would have started in Mesoamerica, than several things would also be different. First the animal would have been much different. They would be evolving as well, but not alongside humans and that would make all the difference. Second we could have been the conquerers not the conquest. Also time itself would have been slowed down. If humans evolved in Mesoamerica and the Fertile Crescent was still in its original location, than the Fertile Crescent wouldn't be so bountiful. The only reason the Fertile Crescent developed so well was because it had humans tempering with it. I think things would have been much different.Eduardonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-380429579170594311.post-28715868159176441032011-08-28T10:26:13.309-07:002011-08-28T10:26:13.309-07:00I totally agree with your last paragraph; I am ver...I totally agree with your last paragraph; I am very much convinced that Mesoamerica would have been a disastrous place to start evolving and spreading from. The fertile crescent is an important factor to get started off. I mean you can domesticate any type of animal big or small if you aren't going to have the resources to maintain it nor yourself for that matter. Plant domestication in Mesoamerica, believe would have to be established first and not only that but it would have to be a success in order to help it shift over to any kind of animal domestication; don't you think?Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02188115252852293921noreply@blogger.com
