Making this video really detailed my diet. I ate cassava crisps along with about 10000 calories worth of other junk.... For research purposes obviously. Don't forget to check out Step Back History's video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqerkpireMR5l9E

The Indigenous peoples of the Americas fed the world and in exchange they were enslaved and massacred in huge numbers, they were exposed to deadly diseases and received no aid whatsoever, they were forced to assimilate to European cultures, languages and religions, losing their own and mixing with other people groups, and those who survived were marginalized and pushed to the margins. What a way to say thanks.

"Europe is potato" is a very accurate statement, when I moved to Europe from Costa Rica, it was a drastic change for me, because we normally eat rice.

Great video Cogito! Always love when you post new content. France has quite a fun story when it comes to potatoes. It was long believed to be good only for pigs but a certain Mr. Parmentier realized its high potential in feeding the masses so he asked the king to create a prestigious but extremely secrete potato garden in one of his castles. From there, people got curious and potatoes became much more prestigious and accepted countrywide. Now we have a mashed potato and meat dish named after him - Hachis Parmentier.

No that is incorrect. The Americas did have domestic animals. The horse came from Americas, but that's another story. North America's did have dog which were used as beast of burden. And South America had Llamas and pack as. Unfunatley the horse had died off. ( there are many option why this happen but the important thing is they all had died) BUT The important thing is, as far as I have seen, they did NOT have the wheel. No wheel means no charriot ( which was used before the horse was rode) and no wagons or carts. Maybe I'm wrong on not having the wheel, but I think that was the problem. I mean there was some huge American civilization. Aztec, Maya, and Inca were just a few, but there were many more. Funny those three were very similar. There were ones very different from them. There were civilization that have not been found yet. For instance there is this place that today is a desert where water is 1500 down. 1000 years ago it was a lake. Recent find found there was a civilization there 600 years ago. What is confusing is why other animals were not domesticated. Some will say thing like you can domesticated buffalo. Sure you can, just as dog and cattle were. But instead of eating the weakest ones, breed them until you get what you want. Now I want to bring up another aspect. Ok old world domesticated animals. New world domesticated crops. Yet no one domesticated fish. Sure you have fish farms now. But still that is far behind the other two.

Because Europeans are equating civilization with steel, guns, writing, and architecture of the medieval and renaissance era. However, the average person did not know how to read or write nor lived in a castle in that era. Only the elite, aristocracy, and monarchy. Life expectancy in Europe was age 30-40 until the 20th century.

And do not forget the Americas taught Europe how to plant. Prior to this Europe was wearing out thier soil. ( hence why the guano was needed) Old world would plant the same crop year after year for hundred to thousand of years in the same place. This was the #1 reason for famine. New World show the importance of crop rotation. In most case the famines were caused by killing the soil, not weather.

@Francisco Carvalho Capeche in the low countries, started from the around 1500 a four year rotation system was used for more yield. ps, for example carrots had hunderds of sorts, if you went 2-3 villages further, other carrots were used, and about NONE of them where orange before the Netherlands set on their mission to devellop a national vegatable to honor the house of orange ! the fact that improved on yield and some disease resistance at the same time it the reason the new orange carrots suppressed all the other kinds and are now the standard carrot in every supermarket!

guanaco and vicuna (relatives of lama) were the first to eat potatoes, they lick clay before eating poisonous plants, the toxins stick-more technically, “adsorb”-to the fine clay particles in the animals’ stomachs, passing through the digestive system without affecting it. Potato at wild is really poisonous, so andean people learned to dunk wild potatoes in a “gravy” made of clay and water (they still do to this day).

And to think that those farmlabs are still up there until today. The ancient Peruvians were so resourceful to build these labs that they even used meteor craters for that purpose. Also the millenium consistent trade held between the Pacific coast and the Andes region helped bring guano from the sea to the top of the mountains and potatoes and corn that grew in the Andes could feed seaside population. This trade was sustained over the complex system of roads that connected the former Inca empire. So it's not only agriculture and genetics, but also engineering and society design what supported the development and sustain of such an advanced agriculture system. Great video, awesome research!

The Native Americans deserve so much more credit then they have been given in our history books. All I learned about in school was the lies taught to us about Christopher Columbus. But the Real american history is so much more interesting and devastating. It's obvious why they don't tell the truth to us in school, because we would end up loathing our forefathers for their crimes against humanity. Either way Thank so much for making these videos I can't wait to share them with my friends and family.

To be fair, Ireland wouldn't have so far to fall from a single blight if they hadn't risen so high from potato. Of course, the potato blight exposes the biggest lesson that New World agriculture has to teach...monoculture is just worse than polyculture. Sure, monoculture is easier to set up, but a wider variety of crops lets you reach further and survive disasters better.
