The ancient Americas tell a story of diversity and change—not progress.

When archaeologists look at different cultures from around the world, they find that many societies create similar solutions to common problems. Some societies become more complex by creating larger communities with more kinds of social relationships. Others adjust to problems in simpler ways. Neither response—complex or simple—is necessarily better or worse.

The continents we now call the Americas, home today to nearly one billion people, are a rich tapestry of societies and cultures that interact, overlap, learn from one another, and sometimes melt together. Yet all still retain their connections to the past, carrying on unique traditions and employing a variety of approaches to modern life.

The Ancient Americas, takes you on a journey through 13,000 years of human ingenuity and achievement in the western hemisphere, where hundreds of diverse societies thrived long before the arrival of Europeans.
