PLOT REVIEW:

Mann’s arguments are based on a variety of recent re-evaluations of long-held views about the world before the Colonies. These re-evaluations are based on new research in fields like demography, climatology, epidemiology, economics, botany, genetics, image analysis, palynology, molecular biology, biochemistry, and soil science.

Although Mann acknowledges controversies and the absence of a consensus, he asserts that the current general trend among scientists is to acknowledge: a) Native American population levels were probably higher than scientists usually thought, closer to the number estimated by “high counters.” b) Humans probably arrived in the Americas earlier than previously thought, traveling to the New World in multiple waves (not just over the Bering land bridge in a short period of time).

Compared to what was previously thought, there was a greater degree of cultural advancement and a wider range of human settlement.
