The "Age of Discovery" happened over 500 years ago and revealed a broad range of cultures. European explorers were introduced to the vast empires of the Aztecs and the Incas. They also encountered roving bands of hunter-gatherers. Their experiences provided irrefutable evidence that cultures have evolved independently and on a global scale. Part of the "Out of the Past" series.
