Description
We often talk about the "discovery of America" when we speak of Columbus and the Spanish. But they didn't really discover America. Think about it: they only came across a continent that was already populated. So the real question would be: how did the first natives in North and South America come to "discover" this land? After all, science has found that humanity originated very far away from the American continent and that these inhabitants are relatively recent compared to those in Africa, Europe, and Asia. Is there a simple answer to this question? And, besides that, what peoples lived in Latin America, long before the Spanish and even long before the Aztecs and Incas? Who created the first languages, and initial civilizations? Who built the first buildings and settlements? Who... Don't worry - all of these questions and more will be answered in today's amazing episode of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast. Enjoy!
