Best Answer

There were more than 100 ethnic groups at the time, but the most advanced civilizations included the Aztecs and Mayans. Other civilizations already extinct at the time of contact with Europeans include the Olmecs and Teotihuacans, which are considered to be the precursors of such advanced societies.
