Deductions Suggested by the Geographical Distribution of Some Post-Columbian Words Used by the Indians of S. America (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book delves into the fascinating world of post-Columbian South America, tracing the spread of cultural elements introduced by Europeans to the indigenous populations. The author examines how the arrival of domestic fowls, horses, cattle, and bananas transformed the lives of Native Americans, and how these new items were assimilated into their cultures. Focusing on the vocabulary used by different tribes to describe these newly encountered things, the author sheds light on the complex patterns of trade and migration that existed across the continent. By comparing names for these items with historical accounts of early explorers and colonizers, the author unravels the geographical routes along which European cultural influences spread. Through meticulous analysis of linguistic data, the author unveils hidden connections between seemingly unrelated tribes and reveals the enduring impact of the Columbian Exchange on the social fabric of South America.
