Default anyone else here read "1491" by Charles Mann?
I read an article which mentioned the book, which was about terraforming (I hope that word exists) done by indians in the amazonas.

That much of the modern landscape is in fact manmade.
I agree with "that", that agriculture anr "urban life" were not just something of the Andes and Mesoamerica.

I just read the wiki article and I disagree with much of it.
I just cant believe that the Aztect empire had a greater population than France, or that the inca empire a greater population than Spain.

And of course europeans had better technology.
