Two surprising details that Mann shows are that the American continent was already known to Europeans before the arrival of Columbus and that the population of that continent was significantly greater than the population of Paris and London.
Why are these facts surprising?
- Because Columbus was always named the discoverer of the continent.
- Because Europeans fought over the continent after Columbus arrived.
- Because it shows that many people were living on the continent.
- Because it shows that ethnic groups were much more numerous than we knew.
Charles C. Mann carried out a study on pre-Columbian societies, that is, societies that lived on the American continent before the arrival of Columbus and European rule.
