"Before it became the New World, the Western Hemisphere was vastly more
populous and sophisticated than has been thought—an altogether more
salubrious place to live at the time than, say, Europe. New evidence of
both the extent of the population and its agricultural advancement leads
to a remarkable conjecture: the Amazon rain forest may be largely a
human artifact"
