Question: In Aztec society, chocolate was widely available. <em>True or False.</em>
Answer: <u>True.</u>
Explanation: Everyone could enjoy cocoa, regardless of their social status. When the Mayans were conquered by the Aztecs, they were forced to pay taxes (tributes) to the Aztecs. This was paid in cocoa, so the Aztecs could always have an extra supply. For Aztecs, the cacao seed was known as the gift of Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom. It had so much value to them that it was even used as a form of currency and they would pay food, clothes, taxes, gifts, and offerings to their gods using cocoa beans.

The similarities between Americans and Africans in the early centuries was that both America and Africa became the first areas of the world to encounter important outcomes from European expansion. They were similar to the fact that Europeans wanted to extract the natural resources from both the countries.
They were different from each other in a way that colonialism affected Africa and transformed America.
People need to believe they have equal social and political rights, else there would be mass protests, revolutions and anarchy. Whether they actually exist in real life is irrelevant here, only the belief matters.
The primary difference in the social structures of humans and animals is the forced imposition of order in human society, leading to a more 'collective' society, instead of the usual 'survival of the fittest/law of the jungle' structure.
And the concept of equal rights is necessary to achieve this imposition of order.
In my opinion, a human society following 'law of the jungle' would be unsustainable, simply because humans as a species are too weak to survive as individuals. The greatest strength of our species is our mental faculty. This leads to the sum of the parts being greater than the whole. As individuals though, we would fail to harness this strength.
Therefore, equal rights do offer us an evolutionary advantage, since they allow us to cluster together, and grow as a population, which is the only way for us to survive.
