Aztlán is believed to have been the northwestern region of today's Mexico. Aztlán is the land where, according to Aztec tradition, their tribe originated. According to Aztec legend at the beginning of the 12th century until the 13th century, the Aztec peoples migrated south to the Valley of Mexico in search of a place to settle.

This “New” World had been populated for at least 12,000 years when the Archaic people crossed over from Siberia to Alaska. The Aztec, Inca, and hundreds of other cultures lived there when Christopher Columbus “found” the continents. They spoke a combined 375 languages. The first Archaic Native Americans were hunter-gatherers.
The Tepehuán (Tepehuanes or Tepehuanos) are an indigenous ethnic group in northwest Mexico, whose villages at the time of Spanish conquest spanned a large territory along the Sierra Madre Occidental from Chihuahua and Durango in the north to Jalisco in the south. The southern Tepehuán community included an isolated settlement (Azqueltán) in the middle of Huichol territory in the Bolaños River canyon. The southern Tepehuán were historically referred to as Tepecanos. hisotry The Wixárika arrived to the Bolaños Canyon region after the arrival of the Tepecanos, who until recently inhabited the same region. There are numerous theories among anthropologists and historians about the timing of the arrival of this ethnic group to the region, but according
The earliest Latin American civilization was the empire of the Mayans during two periods known as the Pre-Classic period from 2000 B.C. to 250 A.D, and the post classic period from 250 A.D. to 900 A.D. They controlled most of the Yucatan peninsula and part of southern Mexico. The Aztec empire first existed as many city-states, but eventually three of them formed a pact known as the Triple Alliance (Townsend, 2000). This Triple Alliance began to expand in earnest by overpowering smaller cities and overtaking the local
Sergio hernandez Pre-Columbian civilizations The Aztec Empire was peopled by a group that was once nomadic, the Mexicas. After their long journey from Aztlán, they found themselves to be outsiders until their god Huitzilopochtli sent them a sign to build their city. Within a few years after they started to build their city, Tenochtitlan, it became one of the largest cities in the world and their power became greater. Their power became greater and stronger because they formed alliances with two other cities, they were known as the Triple Alliance. The Aztec Empire approximately ruled from 1325 to 1510 during which they depended on social structure, religion, and food to maintain their stability.
o Because this date corresponds approximately to the beginnings of village life in a few parts of the world, the first undisputed peopling of the Americas, the end of the Pleistocene Era and last Ice Age, and the start of what geologists term the Recent Era.

The Republic of Ghana is named after the medieval West African Ghana Empire,[1] The Empire became known in Europe and Arabia as the Ghana Empire by the title of its emperor, the Ghana. The Empire appears to have broken up following the 1076 conquest by the Almoravid General Abu-Bakr Ibn-Umar. A reduced kingdom continued to exist after Almoravid rule ended, and the Kingdom was later incorporated into subsequent Sahelian empires, such as the Mali Empire several centuries later. Geographically, the ancient Ghana Empire was approximately 500 miles (800 km) north and west of the modern state of Ghana, and controlled territories in the area of the Sénégal river and east towards the Niger rivers, in modern Senegal, Mauritania and Mali. Historically, modern Ghanaian territory was the core of the Empire of Ashanti, which was one of the most advanced states in sub-Sahara Africa in the 18–19th centuries, before colonial rule.
During the period of 1500 B.C. to 600 B.C. up to 1492 A.D. Paleoanthropologists studied the evolution and prehistory of humans has concluded that the origins of humanity lie in savannah regions of Africa. All people today are very likely descendants of beings who lived in Africa millions years ago. West Africans looked to the Americas as a source of trade, commerce, a place to settle and a place to build new civilizations.
Historical migration of human populations begins with the movement of people out of Africa across Eurasia which took place about a million years ago. Homo sapiens have occupied all of Africa about 150,000 years ago, moved out of Africa 70,000 years ago, and had spread across Australia, Asia and Europe by 40,000 years BC. Migration to the Americas took place 20,000 to 15,000 years ago, and by 2,000 years ago, through which, most of the Pacific Islands were colonized. Later population movements began including the Neolithic Revolution, Indo-European expansion, and the Early Medieval Great Migrations including and the Turkic expansion. In some places, cultural transformation occurred with the migration of relatively small elite populations, for example from Brittonic to English culture between the 4th and 7th centuries CE in what had been Roman Britain.
