Why did Native Americans in the US and Canada produce next to nothing, but the Native Americans in Mesoamerica (Mayans/Aztecs) and Andes (Incas) have complex astronomy, pyramids, bureaucracy, and non-oral methods of communication and information sharing? Something worth noting is that the Northern Native American diet was predominantly meat, but the Southern (Mayan/Aztec/Inca) were potato/corn/bean based. So nutrition isn't a factor. I've seen people claim that Africans are low IQ because their diets are predominantly grain slop. This is a high IQ thread, stupid wignat chuds not welcomed.
The aliens liked the equatorial zone better than the temperate.
>>539410744the thinking is that the Younger Dryas event wiped out much of North American population, South America escaped largely unscathed
>>539410744natives from the south west were genetically speaking the same as the ones in mexico. Thats why they look identical to natives in the SW now.
>>539410744They mesoamericans and incas are the americas equivalent of mesopotamia and egypt. It's like asking why the germanics or celts never produce anything.

>>539411330Maya society had already collapsed before Spanish arrived. I think there was a long drought in the area that caused populations to drop and cities to be abandoned.
>>539410744They didn’t build any of that shit
>>539410744My guess is population density. the central American isthmus is much more narrow, meaning less space for people to fuck off to leading them to congregate. Eventually they would have hit a population threshold that leads to a more complex agrarian society. A society that tends to make monuments. Compare that with some of the native groups in North America, one good example is the plains tribes. The great plains are massive so theres more than enough space for every group to separate how they want and only ever rarely interact. Coupled with the readily available bison they could lead a much more nomadic lifestyle and not hit that population threshold.
>>539411065Commiefornia Texas Arizona and Nevada ,etc. is frozen tundra? Nigger brain.
>>539410744America is vast and full of deserts, mountains, plains and lakes. Mayans/Aztec etc lived in jungles there was more to work with. North America is a very harsh gigantic vast place you have to travel long distances to get places
>>539411888LOL. Nah that has to be false crediting. Name a single jew that exists alive or dead that would brave a new world, thick jungles, indigenous people hiding with bows in the shadows of the canopy. the sweat, the disease, the starvation. They definitely fled east to Belgium which was a territory of Spain in the 1600s, hence all the sephardic jews found there today. Its also the reason why Belgium was such a huge factor in the global african slave trade and how Curaçao was controlled by Dutch jews.
>>539411839these were built in the 17-18oo's Not really that long ago.
Does corn (maize) grow in cold climates? The Amerindians didn't have wheat or oats or barley or similar crops that crow well in cold climates.Peruvians had potatoes which do grow well in the cold, but they were far away from North America.Without a dependable crop you can't get high population density which is required for civilization.

>>539410744>Why did Native Americans in the US and Canada produce next to nothing, but the Native Americans in Mesoamerica (Mayans/Aztecs) and Andes (Incas) have complex astronomy, pyramids, bureaucracy, and non-oral methods of communication and information sharing?That's not true. The difference is what survives of these cultures because of their environments and their materials. The mound builders of the Mississippi were likely a culture at least on par with Mesoamericans. Cahokia was the largest city in North America at the time with trade routes running all over the continent. You don't manage a trade empire like that without recordkeeping and government. There's virtually nothing left of Cahokia or their wider settlements today besides overgrown mounds because they built earthworks and wooden structures along an immense flood plain in the most torando ridden part of the world. Their writing system probably went the way of European linear systems during the Bronze Age collapse, forgotten because they were complex and only known to a relative few skilled scribes. >Something worth noting is that the Northern Native American diet was predominantly meatThe mound builders were practicing intensive agriculture, cultivating crops from the far reaches of the continent. You also don't maintain one of the largest cities in the world at that time on meat alone. After they collapse, they would have been dependent on game and foraging in a lot of places, that's true. Also worth noting is the influx of the Dene, the last significant pre-Columbian migration. These people displaced and replaced many of the scattered remnants of the mound builders' empire, particularly in Canada and the western half of the US. Coming from the boreal Artic, their diet was very much protein centric. The Navajo are one such group, showing just how extensive their migration and the vacuum left by the mound builders' collapse was, and that they readily took up agriculture afterward.
>>539410744south western USA and northern Mexico are deserts. It was too dry to establish a sedentary empire or village there. They had to rely on nomadic way of living and hunting, before settling down. Mesoamerica had lush jungles, good rainfall, etc; however, they did encounter droughts and had to relocate. if I remember correctly, teotihuacan was abandoned entirely, the aztecs managed to find it like that. >>539411109The aztecs had a story that their world was destroyed 4 times and had been reborn many times. A destructive flood was one of the cataclysmic events.
>>539410744>So nutrition isn't a factorYou're clearly retarded.Their diets spell out the difference - hunter / gatherer society vs. agrarian ones.The same shift happened in Western Asia that led to the rise of old-world ancient civilizations.See: Gobleki Tepe.>high IQ threadlmao. this is a midwit retard thread.
They did though. There's Cahokia. There are the cliff dwellings of the Anasazi. The long houses of the Iroquis Confederacy. The trail trees of the Midwest.Hell, there's evidence of complex agricultural systems along the Eastern Seaboard that have since been torn down in favor of monoculture. The North American natives built with nature instead of brick and stone, much like the Germanic tribes.You associate ancient civilization with stone monuments because that's what survived but people only build that way where there are no trees or the termites are unsurmountable (which is why houses in Mexico are built from concrete to this day).
>>539411317Yep deep south cultures and japanese culture is also similar and some chilean words are also on japanese, they were the original siberian hunther gatherers that colonized america
>>539412829>teotihuacan was abandoned entirely, the aztecs managed to find it like thatextremely wrong, actually.like, comically wrong.it was a giant lake that was already settled by like 10 other tribes.the aztecs had to make landfill plots in the lake to start settling it.
>>539412931Problem is, we don't know anything about the mound-builders because they were long gone when the Euros showed up.The Aztecs, Incas, and Maya were still thriving civilizations when the Spanish arrived.
>>539413094Wouldn't say the Maya were thriving at that time but the Mississippi culture was. We don't know anything about them because smallpox made its way inland faster than any explorer could.>>539412292>Does corn (maize) grow in cold climates?The majority of the world's maize is grown in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota.
>The meager available native records contain abundant evidence that the later civilizations of Central and South America were hopelessly dominated by the black arts of their priestcrafts. In the convexities of their magnetized mirrors the Indian sorcerers captured the intelligences of elemental beings and, gazing into the depths of these abominable devices, eventually made the scepter subservient to the wand. Robed in garments of sable hue, the neophytes in their search for truth were led by their sinister guides through the confused passageways of necromancy. By the left-hand path they descended into the somber depths of the infernal world, where they learned to endow stones with the power of speech and to subtly ensnare the minds of men with their chants and fetishes. As typical of the perversion which prevailed, none could achieve to the greater Mysteries until a human being had suffered immolation at his hand and the bleeding heart of the victim had been elevated before the leering face of the stone idol fabricated by a priestcraft the members of which realized more fully than they dared to admit the true nature of the man-made demon. The sanguinary and indescribable rites practiced by many of the Central American Indians may represent remnants of the later Atlantean perversion of the ancient sun Mysteries. According to the secret tradition, it was during the later Atlantean epoch that black magic and sorcery dominated the esoteric schools, resulting in the bloody sacrificial rites and gruesome idolatry which ultimately overthrew the Atlantean empire and even penetrated the Aryan religious world.https://sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta48.htm
It’s mostly due to population density and key milestones being hit that get the ball rolling. The natives in North America were very spread out and had limited contact with each other, usually only conducting small amounts of trade compared to the Aztec who not only routinely traded with the Inca but had colonies in the south and even had their products make it up to the northeast. The best land in mesoamerica lies in a pretty small strip so a lot of tribes bunched up there, so ideas spread faster. Because mesoamerica didn’t have predictiable harvests like the annual salmon runs in the northwest the natives relied more on agriculture and agriculture necessitates the development of complex society with rules and structure. The development of complex society allows for the creation of skilled trades and castes which in turn allows for continual advancement. Not all development is uniform though and a lot of people make the mistake of assuming social development is linear. The Salish peoples in the Pacific Northwest practiced feudalism and had kings, knights and fiefdoms despite never practicing agriculture, the Aztecs built one of the largest cities on earth at the time and created complex architecture despite never really progressing beyond basic iron smelting. The maya created a complex written language but their social structure was fairly crude. Social development really just requires enough people with above average IQ congregating in one spot, Europeans have a higher than average IQ and population centers tended to collect in small areas so this happened frequently whereas subsaharan Africans had a very low IQ and sparse populations so this devleopment never really occurred. The natives fell somewhere in the middle.
>>539413007That's Tenochtitlan. Tenochtitlan is built on lake texcoco. teotihuacan is an entire different site of the the aztec triple alliance. >>For a long time, what we knew about the denizens of Teotihuacan was filtered through much later accounts from the Aztec and Spanish; there are no firsthand accounts from the residents themselves, and it’s even unclear what the predominant language was in the city.
>>539410744Pic related is a good pop anthro book to get started on a lot of native American stuff, and Paleolithic European stuff. Pretty good. Greabers other book on history of debt is amazing. Sucks he passed away, the history book was supposed to be a series. Keep in mind, it's a pop history book, it's indedepth, but not a serious history book. As for the question, from my understanding is that during the migration from Asia and from the pacific island regions into Central and South America it was quite fast straight down into fertile land that they could cultivate and settle. Whereas the northern areas stayed more nomadic but as other anon have pointed out there is evidence of actual civilization building going on.
>>539410744They made this, maybe not as impressive as pyramids but still cool.
>>539412509Not even remotely true, the wheel wasn’t developed until 4000 bc and it was made in Iraq. The wheel is a product of commerce, it’s useless without well established roadways and high density trade, it’s not a marker of intelligence but rather an indicator of advanced economies. The Aztecs didn’t produce wheeled vehicles because they didn’t have any beasts of burden, a cart is useless without an ox or a horse to pull it.
>>539411330The Mayans probably weren't the originators of their culture but u related or distantly related inheritors of it. >>539411610There's people that unironically think that because Olmec statues had big flat noses.>>539412096Cahokia was larger than Tenochtitlan, Paris, or London at the same time. >>539412292Corn grows just fine in climates that have cold winters. Northern Midwest states like Iowa and Illinois produce most of our corn today. Virtually all corn grown today is genitically modified and likely more fickle than what they were cultivating. >>539412353See corn.>>539412509To be fair, native Americans didn't have any reason to invent the wheel. Wheels don't have a lot of uses without domesticated beasts of burden, and they didn't have much of any stock to create any from. Bison would have been their best bet, but they're notoriously resistant to domestication. Mesoamerica was entirely shit out of luck in that regard. The Andeans would have had llamas, but their geography doesn't lend itself well to complex road systems. Still, they had something akin to a crude wheel for their limited purposes. The only way conceivable wat you were moving megaliths was on rolling logs.
>>539410744I wonder what colors that carving had before the paint washed out
>>539413812>The only way conceivable wat you were moving megaliths was on rolling logs.not entirely trueyou can use sleds, pivot points and other simple tools to reliably move tonnage without rollers

>>539410744>produce next to nothingWhat did they nees to produce. They lives in a paradise with abundant fresh water, fruits and vegetables growing everywhere and high numbers of animals roaming and easily caught. They were simply thankful to the earth for its fullnes
>>539412829>south western USA and northern Mexico are deserts. It was too dry to establish a sedentary empire or village thereThat's not true. The Pueblos did exactly that, for some time anyway. The Navajo and other Dene adopted their practices when they moved into the southwest. >>539412856The mound builders almost certainly had a much better diet than did Mesoamericans. They were both eating corn as a core staple crop, but the mound builders were also growing beans and squash intensively. Their protein sources on the plains rivers were also larger, more varied, and abundant. Fish would have been a major year round advantage. >>539413094We do know some things, mostly from excavations, from which we can extrapolate quite a bit more. There's very little support for those kind of excavations. >>539413475This is all post-mound builders paradigm.
>>539412509Civilization as we define it never sparked independently north of the alps... the wheel was a product of technology moving into Europe.
>>539413812>llamas as beasts of burdenlol where are you going to put the harness?also is there any doubt the Maya evolved from the Olmec?>>539411610Mitochondrial DNA says otherwise. Injuns are closer to Turks and Mongols than Africans.
>>539410744> Why did Native Americans in the US and Canada produce next to nothingCan't speak to Canada as much, but in the US native populations absolutely did build things. They just used wood and earth rather than stone, so it didn't last as long and was easier to get lost in the landscape. Timber is cheap, superabundant, and easy to work with and as a result most cultures used it (and earthworks) as the main method of construction. Picrel is Monk's Mound, an earth mound with a base larger than that of the Pyramid of the Sun and about the same size as the Great Pyramid at Giza. There are many more mounds that are equivalent in height and footprint to the stone pyramids in Central America. Look into Serpent Mound and other effigy mounds as well. In short, You're assuming that many of these cultures built nothing because they didn't build with stone, and instead used earthworks and timber structures, which were more abundant and easily accessible. You'll find that everywhere you go on Earth, people use the materials available to them. In drier, more arid regions with more stone accessible, people use that. in regions where timber is abundant, people use that. It's very likely that many ancient civilizations were simply erased because wood rots over time, while stone lasts forever. We only have things like the Shigir Idol, a 12,000 year old totem pole from Russia, because it fell over in a bog and stayed preserved there for millennia. How many hills or mountains hide deliberate earth mounds and pyramids beneath centuries or millennia of overgrowth and sediment deposits? We'll likely never know. But again to say ancient cultures didn't build anything because they didn't make it from stone is a failure of imagination.
>>539410744North America suffered a comet impact on the Laurentian Ice Sheet approximately 14,000 years ago and we are still feeling the effects. We'd would be speaking Algonquian languages and sipping mojitos while orbiting Epsilon Eridani otherwise.

>>539410744Agriculture. And i mean real large scale monoculuture of a storable grain, not that three sisters bullcrap.
>>539410744but why Earth? why not stone like the mayas? Well, there was no stone. They lived in flat grasslands and had no stone to work with. As for tools, it is also believed that because the great lakes region was plentiful in pure copper ore, there was never a need to refine ores for metal. in the end the destruction of natives in the area lead to forest reclamation that has now largely hid all of their constructions. prior to the arrival of europeans, native americans played a huge role in controlling forest growth using contained fires. also, these civilizations did consume cereals, with huge famines occurring after de soto burned all their crops; basically genocide. as for writing? we never bothered to learn so we have no idea if they had writing

>>539412271>18oo'sabsolutely false

I wonder if the proximity of water like the gulf or the ocean had something to to with it, what with fish being brain food and loaded with proteins. The natives of North America never had anything like a Mediterranean to supplement diets or at the very least, foster curiosity as to what something like that would contain enough to dream of a sail or a boat capable of traversing it.

>>539424253It's true though. The power comes from thoroughbred hybridization. The Neanderthal genes give the ability to Plot and Scheme and build large-scale Networks. The Cromagnon genes give charisma and beauty and athleticism. The only major downside is lack of Pigmentation Diversity, and that is exactly what Jews have been trying to work on. Unfortunately for them, they intermarried with Eurasians a little bit too much, thanks to the extreme beauty of Eurasian Women, which is why Jews have lost their Subtropical street cred, as they're the first Transracial people in global history (having purchased their way into Eurasianness). Now that Jews are losing control on a global scale, Nordics have no choice but to decide whether they'd rather be beholden to Latins, Arabs, South Asians, or East Asians. This all ties back to OP in a sense - Precolonial North Americans had no choice but to either rampage in Anarchy or serve the Mesoamerican Chads.

I can actually answer this, holy shit. Even if they did build shit, the draining of thr Glacial Lakes at the end of the Ice Age would have absolutely obliterated it. Thats why you can only find shit from that time period in the lower-mid southeast and further onward. We had an entire museum in my hometown about it, because he lived almost exactly where the flood waters were funnel by a series of valleys.Look up Glacial Lake Missoula.Conversely, the Great Plains used to catch fire and turn into an inferno moving at like 60mph over hundreds to thousands of square miles. There actually were small archeological sites that had more advanced tech in the forms of metallurgy (some short swords, knives, spearheads, small simple tool fragments) but they got wiped the fuck out by unknown cataclysm or illnessPic related is in MT a few hours from where I live.

>>539410744>Something worth noting is that the Northern Native American diet was predominantly meat,If you're talking about the ones in the plains sure. The ones in the eastern US actually developed agriculture independently and domesticated stuff like sunflowers, pumpkins and a quinoa relative. However it seems these domesticates were rather low quality compared to stuff like maize from Mesoamerica whose cultivation in the eastern US only really started to take off with Cahokia's rise which also became the largest Mississippian settlement in history.This was quite late in the history of the region but probably more complex societies were on their way to develop on the shoulders of the Mississippians as maize became more widespread and allowed for bigger populations.Anyways, you mutts are scum and one of the main reason why so many Maya and other sites were looted and pilfered in the 19th and 20th centuries as Amerimutt museums and rich scum paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for Mesoamerican and Andean artifacts.
