Within Central and South America, there were two main populations. The Mayans ruled much of the Yucatan Peninsula from 300 to 800 AD (I realise this is prior to 1491, but for the sake of context). Centuries later, the Aztecs assumed power in the same area, only to be conquered upon Spanish arrival. Concurrently, the Incans ruled in Peru and South…

The Cretaceous-Paleogene Boundary, (K-Pg) boundary, and the associated Dinosaur Extinc-tion theories have many precedents and most could be viewed scientifically from certain and known historical accounts. These hypotheses, some more believable than others, can serve a purpose to study current life and potential trends for future evolutionary traits. Evaluating certain aspects of the theory’s within this research, the main focus will be not be on the factual cause of the extinction, but rather…
