HUMAN HISTORY

Human history starts about 16,000 years ago in South America, when humans began to come down through Central America and entered into the continent of South America. The history of the Aymara has been characterized by shifting pressures from dominant groups. They probably appeared on the scene around 2000 B.C in the Tiwanaku area. Prior to their conquest by the Inca around 1430 A.D., the Aymara are thought to have been organized into a series of independent states or sub tribes, which were probably also dialect groups.
