具体描述
In this groundbreaking work of science, history, and archaeology, Charles C. Mann radically alters our understanding of the Americas before the arrival of Columbus in 1492.Contrary to what so many Americans learn in school, the pre-Columbian Indians were not sparsely settled in a pristine wilderness; rather, there were huge numbers of Indians who actively molded and influenced the land around them. From the astonishing Aztec capital of Tenochtitlán, which had running water, immaculately clean streets, and was larger than any contemporary European city, to the Mexican corn that was so carefully created in a specialized breeding process that it has been called man’s first feat of genetic engineering, Indians were not living lightly on the land but were landscaping and manipulating their world in ways that we are only now beginning to understand. Challenging and surprising, this a transformative new look at a rich and fascinating world we only thought we knew.

评分得到听书: 首先，咱们说到美洲大陆在哥伦布到来之前，并不是一个荒凉原始、人烟稀少的地方。在15世纪时这里人口众多，远超同时期的欧洲，人口密度最大的地方，甚至是中国和印度的两倍。只是由于欧洲人的到来，带来了美洲人从未遭遇过、毫无免疫力的病毒，才使得美洲人口锐减。...
