The document discusses the rise of early civilizations in the Americas. It describes three types of societies: non-sedentary, semi-sedentary, and sedentary. Non-sedentary societies practiced hunting and gathering and had no permanent settlements. Semi-sedentary societies began farming and settled in small villages. Sedentary societies engaged in large-scale farming and lived in large cities. Examples discussed include the Aztec and Inca empires, which developed complex political and social structures to govern large sedentary populations. The document poses questions about which society type was most advantageous and how each interacted with their environment and neighbors.
