一项彻底颠覆我们对 1492 年欧洲人到来前美洲大陆认知的开创性研究。传统上，美国人在学校里学到的是：哥伦布登陆时居住在西半球的人类祖先是在一万两千年前穿越白令海峡而来的；他们主要以小规模的游牧群体生存；且对土地的影响极小，以至于实际上美洲大陆当时仍是一片广袤的荒野。但正如 Charles C. Mann 如今明确指出的，考古学家与人类学家在过去三十年间一直在证明这些

Charles Mann 的《1491》里对这类亚马逊土方工程探讨颇多，主要是在这两个假说的背景下展开的：亚马逊地区（以及南北美洲的大部分地区）不仅人口远比之前认为的要稠密得多，而且生态受人为管理的程度也高得多。这是一部很棒的……
Amazonian earthworks such as these are discussed quite a bit in Charles Mann's 1491, mostly in the context of dual hypotheses that the Amazon (and much of N. and S. America) was both far more heavily populated, and far more ecologically managed, than previously thought. It's a great…

……美洲[1]。任何触碰它树皮的东西（鸟类、昆虫、人类）都会遭到喷射毒液的红蚁群疯狂围攻。我是从 Charles Mann 写的同样引人入胜的《1491》[2] 这本书里了解到这种神奇树木的。[1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplaris_americana [2]http://amzn.to/2hKn6Ly
…America[1]. Anything that touches its bark (bird, insect, human) is ferociously attacked by colonies of venom squirting red ants. Learned about this fascinating tree in the equally fascinating book "1491" by Charles Mann[2]. [1]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplaris_americana [2]http://amzn.to/2hKn6Ly
若想深入了解古代美洲文明给地理地貌带来的巨大改变，可以看看 Charles Mann 的《1491》。整本书里最吸引人的观点大概是：在欧洲人接触美洲时，美洲的人口是后来16世纪（当时大部分……）时的十倍之多。
For some thought-provoking insights into the scale of the changes ancient American civilizations brought on the landscape, see the book 1491 by Charles Mann. Maybe the most intriguing idea in the entire book is that the Americas were ten times more populated at the time of European contact than they ended up becoming in the 1500's (when most…
