What is the origin of the population of South America? The origin of the population of Llanos occupies mainly the territory
a) the population of South America is distributed evenly across the territory, b) most of the population speaks English.
a) only a is true, b) only b is true, c) both are true, d) both are false.
I think both are incorrect because the population is not evenly distributed and they speak Spanish and Portuguese.

Remember what you learned earlier. What is the origin of the population of modern South America? Why is there a high population density in the West of the continent, in the Andes: after all, in the mountains, as a rule, the population is sparse? By what criteria can the countries of South America be grouped? Peculiarities geographical location and the nature of Brazil? Features of the Brazilian population? Economic activity population of Brazil?

In science, there are several hypotheses for the settlement of the continent. South America is the birthplace of ancient civilizations. The first who built majestic palaces and temples on American soil and created a complex and amazing culture were not the Aztecs, not the Incas, and not the Mayans. More than 3 thousand years ago, Olmec cities flourished in Mexico. They, according to scientists, are the ancestors of the first Mayans. Almost 2 thousand. years ago, the Mayans invented hieroglyphic writing, they are known as wonderful astronomers.
The first people came to the Andes through the Isthmus of Panama; they did not know agriculture, so they were mainly engaged in gathering, hunting and fishing. Many years later, they cultivated wild corn, began making dishes, and domesticated guanacos - close relatives of camels.
Long before the appearance famous empire The Incas on the slopes of the Peruvian Andes there were powerful states - Chavin, Paracas, Mochica. The center of the Chavin state was located 462 km from Lima at an altitude of 3180 m above sea level.
The path of development of the Incas can only be traced back to 1438. Before the Spanish conquest, the Inca ruler Pachacutec turned his state into a huge, powerful empire that stretched 5,000 km from the south of modern Colombia to the north of Chile and Argentina. They called their country Tawantinsuya (Four Directions of the World), believing that all the unconquered lands would eventually submit to them.
The Aymara, skilled weavers and reed boat builders, wove floating islands from totora reeds for their villages on Lake Titicaca.
The Indians put up desperate resistance to the Spanish and Portuguese conquerors, but were defeated and subjected to merciless destruction. The indigenous population has survived to this day only in the most inaccessible areas of the mainland - in the Amazonian jungle (Bororo, Guahibo, Botocuda peoples), in the north of the Pacific equatorial forests (Choco, Embera) and in the mountain “bear corners” (Motilons, Arawaks, Yagans).
The conquistadors, led by Francisco Pizarro, completely captured the Central Andes in 10 years, forcing the Indians to work for themselves. Almost all of South America was divided between Spain and Portugal. According to the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494, only the northeastern tip of South America went to Portugal, and all other lands went to Spain. The local people waged a liberation struggle against colonial rule. Simon Bolivar led the rebel army and liberated Venezuela, Peru and other countries from the Spanish colonialists. Therefore, one of the liberated territories was named Bolivia.
Currently, representatives of all three races of humanity live in South America. Among the population of the mainland there was a mixture of races, languages, traditions, and morals. The composition of the population has become extremely complex. 3 Likes Complain
1. What is the origin of the population of modern South America?
Man came to the territory of South America from North America, where he came from Asia along the isthmus that existed in the area of the present Bering Strait. These people became the ancestors of the Indian tribes that populated the entire continent. Some of them, upon the arrival of Europeans, were at a primitive level of development, others had a developed culture, agriculture, and crafts. With the discovery of South America, the Spaniards and Portuguese rushed to the mainland. In the 16th – 19th centuries, slaves were brought from Africa to work on plantations. At the beginning of the 20th century, representatives of other nations moved en masse to the mainland: Italians, Germans, Russians, Ukrainians, and Chinese.
2. Why is there a high population density in the West of the continent in the Andes: after all, in the mountains, as a rule, the population is sparse?
There are two reasons for this. Firstly, in the mountainous regions of the Andes there are more favorable conditions for maintaining Agriculture: moderate temperatures, sufficient rainfall. Secondly, during colonization by Europeans, many tribes were forced out of their territories and moved to more inaccessible areas, which were the mountains.
3. By what criteria can the countries of South America be grouped?
The countries of South America can be grouped according to the following criteria:
1. By area(the largest are Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia).
2. By population(the largest are Brazil, Colombia, Argentina).
3. By geographical location:
a) coastal - Brazil, Argentina;
b) inland – Bolivia, Paraguay.
4. According to the form of administrative structure:
unitary and federal.
5. By level of economic development:
a) newly industrialized countries (Argentina, Brazil);
b) oil-producing countries (Venezuela, Ecuador);
4. Explain the origin of the names of 3-4 mainland countries.
The word "Brazil" comes from the name of the caesalpinia tree, which in Portuguese is "pau brazil". The second part of this word - “Brazil” - is translated as “scarlet, like burning coals,” and it comes from the Latin word “Brasa” - “smoldering coals, red ash, heat.” There is another version of the origin of the name of the country, less common. Irish myths mention the mysterious island of Hy-Brasil, or O'Brasil, located somewhere in the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean.Supporters of this version claim that the ancient Celts sailed to Brazil long before Columbus discovered America, but there is no information about such journeys.
Argentina - from the Latin "argentum" (silver). Merchants used Argentina's Rio de la Plata (Silver River) to transport silver and other treasures from Peru. The land downstream became known as Argentina (Land of Silver).
Peru. The name of the country has many versions about its origin. It is assumed that this name was given by the first Spanish conquerors. Possibly from the Biru River in modern Ecuador. Others believe that the country's name comes from an Indian language in which Peru means "land of fertility." Another version is that the name comes from the Quechua word “Pirua”, meaning a large ear of corn.
Chile. According to one theory, the name comes from the language of the Aymara tribe that inhabited the country and means “the place where the earth ends.” According to another - in the Quechua language - the limit of the world or the end of the world.
