Mann does a top-notch job of telling the story about the pre-Columbian Americas whose two primary civilizations (Mesoamerica and the Andes) developed in isolation from the rest of the world (and, likely, in isolation from each other), and that these civilizations may have rivaled in time and sophistication the civilizations in the Near East, Egypt, India and China. On this point, he writes that "When the people of Notre Chico [Andes] were building these [their] cities, there was only one other urban complex on earth: Sumer." His history is a much appreciated correction to the standard histories of the world. In referencing one such history, Mann notes the nine pages that were allotted to pre-Columbian America and states that "The thesis of the book in your hands is that Native American history merits more than nine pages." In this history, Mann fills in many of our gaps, including the role of disease in wiping out native populations. He also presents alternative perspectives so that the reader is far less sure about our standard understanding on such things as the origin of the Olmecs, the overkill hypothesis, the migration dates and origins of the New World's native peoples, the origin of maize, and the role of slash and burn technology in the Amazon. Here and there, Mann gives his own perspective and position on these issues after a fair presentation of the evidence. While the Americas have been isolated from the rest of the world, Mann notes that Columbus seamed Pangaea together again. Mann's book helps to bring the story of the Americas into the mainstream of world history.
