Answer:
The correct answer to the question: Which of the following is a true statement about early American cultures, would be, A: Early American cultures were very unsophisticated compared to European cultures
Explanation:
When the Europeans arrived in the Americas, the first thing that they found is a group of nomadic peoples, underdressed, with atypical rituals, languages, forms of behaving, forms of congregation, religious beliefs, that were completely different from those in Europe. To most Europeans, the Indians, as the Native Americans were later known, were completely uncivilized and barbaric. It was much later that Europeans came to see that at least in some respects, this was not totally true, especially when they came face-to-face with the Mayan, Aztec and Inca civilizations. But these big three, and others that are less better known in South America and North America, were an exception, and regardless of the systems used in the Americas, to Europeans, they were always considered much less sophisticated than the ones they had. This is why the best answer is A.
