Station 1 of America continent

Hi, Guys, Though our blog, you could travel all over the world in different ages. Follow US, NOW  Let's GO back to old America continent. Our first station is North America.  In North America, there are serval civilization, such as Mayan civilization and Inca civilization. There is long history about Mayan and Inca civilization.

The indigenous peoples of North America themselves have many creation myths, by which they assert that they have been present on the land since its creation. Before contact with of North America were divided into many different polities, from small  bands of a few families to large  empires. They lived in several " cluture areas", which roughly correspond to geographic and biological zones and give a good indication of the main  lifeway or occupation of the people who lived there. Native groups can also be classified by their language family (e.g.  Athapascan or Uto-Aztecan). It is important to note that peoples with similar languages did not always share the same material culture, nor were they always  allies.

Scientists believe that the Inuit people of the high  Arctic came to North America much later than other native groups, as evidenced by the disappearance of  Dorset culture artifacts from the  archaeological record, and their replacement by the  Thule people.

 The Inuit people of the high Aracit came to North America much later than other native groups, as evidenced by the disappearance of  Dorset culture artifacts from the archaeological record, and their replacement by the Thule people.
During the thousands of years of native inhabitation on the continent, cultures changed and shifted. Archaeologists often name different cultural groups they discover after the site where they were first found. One of the oldest cultures yet found is the Clovis culture of modern New Mexico. A more recent example is the group of related cultures called the Mound builders ( the Fort Walton Culture), found in the Mississippi river valley. They flourished from 300 BC to the 150s AD.
The more southern cultural groups of North America were responsible for the domestication of many common crops now used around the world, such as tomatoes and squash. Perhaps most importantly they domesticated one of the world's major staples, maize.
