	Monthly Review April 2006 Richard Peet ¦ The Hidden History of the Americas
		The small number of people that initially populated the Americas made for a genetic homogeneity that left their descendents remarkably free of some diseases (the Indians were the healthiest people on earth), yet terribly vulnerable to other diseases, carried along trade routes far in advance of actual, physical contact with the Europeans.
		The mere discovery of the Americas caused intellectual ferment in Europe (though not, we might add, with the explorers—a more crass, careless, and greedy bunch is difficult to imagine).
		But in the case of the Americas we have not so much the invention of mythology as a refusal of the collective mind even to think deep history, for what it would reveal, and what this might mean.

	Climate and Cultural History in the Americas Workshop Agenda
		In its short history of 675 years, the population of Mexico City and the valley went through several calamitous periods of high mortality due to famines and epidemics.
		Reconstructing climate histories and investigating the impacts of and social responses to extreme weather events in the past should thus be seen as critical steps if we are to understand and anticipate the potential repercussions of future events.
		The study is concerned with four case study regions in Mexico, covering a range of climatic, environmental, socio-economic, and political contexts and histories: Chihuahua in the north, Oaxaca in the south, Michoacán, in the central highlands and Guanajuato in the Bajío (‘lowlands’) of the north central highlands.
