	History of Mesoamerica (Paleo-Indian) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the History of Mesoamerica, the stage known as the Paleo-Indian period (or alternatively, the Lithic stage) is the era in the scheme of Mesoamerican chronology which begins with the very first indications of human habitation within the Mesoamerican region, and continues until the general onset of the development of agriculture and other proto-civilization traits.
		Scientific opinion regarding human antiquity in Mesoamerica has reflected larger trends in conceptualizing human antiquity in the western hemisphere in general.
		Based upon increasing evidence for an earlier antiquity for human presence in the western hemisphere, in 1976 Irving Rouse and Richard S. MacNeish independently published proposals revising western hemisphere lithic stages, allowing for human occupation as early as 30,000 BP and leaving open the possibility of an even earlier initial arrival.

		Within that foundational topic, the establishment of sites demonstrating human antiquity in Mesoamerica has centered on the association of remains and artifacts with geologic strata (context) and on the reliability of the dating of the remains and strata (methodologies).
		At the beginning of the twentieth century, humans were believed to be very recent post-glacial immigrants to the western hemisphere.
		A variety of methods were used to determine the antiquity of the cranial remains, including chemical bone analysis (nitrogen and fluorine tests), geological analysis (stratigraphic, carbon-14, and volcanic ash composition tests), contextual association with faunal remains, and contextual association with lithic artifacts dated by obsidian hydration.

		Mesoamerica is also the name of a linguistic area or sprachbund comprising the languages native to roughly the same geographical area.
		Mesoamerica having been recognized as a near prototypical cultural area the term is now fully integrated in the standard terminology of pre-Columbian anthropological studies.
		Mesoamerica remains today a region with an extremely rich cultural and linguistic diversity and the indigenous peoples of modern Mesoamerica carry on many of the traditions of their predecessors, in spite of 500 years of heavy pressure from the modern European civilization.

		If confirmed, this would be the 2nd oldest human remain found in the Americas, after the Buhl woman of Idaho.
		If verified, these would be some of the earliest dates for human habitation in the Americas and would discredit prevailing theories of the timing of settlement of the New World.
		The evidence for these much-earlier dates consists of the bones of fl bear and two species of deer which appeared in middens associated with 22,000-year-old hearths, as well as a curved obsidian blade which was found beneath a buried tree trunk.

	Animated Humanity
		The humanities are those academic disciplines which study the human condition using methods that are largely analytic, critical, or speculative, as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural and social sciences.
		Modern and contemporary art has moved away from the historic value of craft in favour of concept; this has led some to say that painting, as a serious art form, is dead, although this has not deterred the majority of artists from continuing to practise it either as whole or part of their work.
		The study of individual modern and classical languages form the backbone of modern study of the humanities, while the scientific study of language is known as linguistics and is a social science.

		The presence of humans at the southern tip of South America by 9000—8500 BC suggested to some investigators that the fluted-point hunters were not the first migrants into the Americas, as this would have necessitated a very rapid rate of migration by these hunters.

	POST-PLEISTOCENE HUMAN EVOLUTION: BIOARCHAEOLOGY OF THE AGRICULTURAL TRANSITION
		The widespread extinction of various megafauna (e.g., mastadon, mammoth) and other animals may have been an impetus for human populations to begin to develop wholly new means of acquiring food in order to meet protein and fat requirements.
		This is an important strength that anthropology brings to bear in discussions relating to the emerging picture of the agricultural transition and the history of the human condition during the Holocene.
		Human populations undergoing mechanically demanding activities have generally larger and more robust bones than populations who are less active (Larsen, 1997).

		It is interesting that the rule of terror caused by individual fanatic belief rooted in a subservience to one man could be destroyed by the fanatical mass of the hordes rooted in their mass hysteria of murder.
		It seems to be the alpha and omega of human, and in a way, primate behavior - the small group and its control dynamics vs. the mass in hierarchical execution.
		However, we have seen in the Classic societies of Greece and Rome and others of antiquity that the ability for individuals to function outside of this context of belief and to thrive is not unusual.

	Athena Review 2,1: Early plant domestication in Mesoamerica
		Mesoamerica (fig.1) is a cultural super-region extending from northern Mexico to Central America, whose diverse environmental zones (arid; mountainous; tropical lowlands) each became ancestral areas for major crops ranging from squash, corn, and beans to cotton and chocolate.
		Probable candidates for transplantation are mainly small trees or bushy plants with a perennial growth habit, whose produce (sap, fiber and wood as well as edible portions) is readily harvested and processed for consumption.
		The archaeobotanical record for Mesoamerica is full of such huge gaps regarding when and how the dispersal of economically useful plants were effected via human cultural practices.

		The basis of this argument is that teosinte is the closest known relative of maize.
		The evidence for bean (Phaseolus spp.; Fabaceae) cultivation is not of such antiquity as that for squash, although ultimately beans became the high protein staple of the Mesoamerican diet.
		All of these species are native to considerably more mesic (wetter) environments, and their establishment in the semiarid Tehuacán area would have required some irrigation.

		Her research and teaching deals with two broad issues: human ecology and the emergence and evolution of social, political and economic inequality.
		Within the context of human ecology she focuses on (1) human adaptation to environmental fluctuation and (2) the impact of humans on the environment in the context of the emergence and development of prehistoric states and empires.
		Specifically, her research deals with central and west Mexico, especially Michoacán and the Purepecha\Tarascans, and the development of social theory in archaeology to understand the evolution of inequality by class, ethnicity, and gender.

		They are continuously aware of the importance of the structured interplay between observation and explanation—and of the fundamental aim of archaeology to interpret the relationship of material culture to human behavior.
		Prior to the 1970s most of the available jobs in archaeology were in universities, some were in junior colleges, and a few were in museums and other research institutions.
		Most archaeologists end up specializing in a geographic area, such as Mesoamerica or Oceania; others may focus on a particular time period such as the era of the Paleo-indians and their ancestors.
