Until the early 1900's, the Maya civilization was considered to be the parent culture in Mesoamerica from which all other societies sprouted. There have been many Mayan sculptures and carvings found in the region, so all other carvings were also considered to be that of the Maya. One difference in the carving is that some carvings of large heads had faces with more African looking features than many of the other Mayan works. There was also evidence of a half-jaguar half-man beast, which also did not fit in with other Mayan finds. It wasn't until 1929, when Marshall H Saville, the Director of the Museum of American Indian in New York, classified these new works as an entirely new culture not of Mayan heritage. He named this culture Olmec, which means the "rubber people" in Nahuatl, the language of the Mexica ("Aztec") people. It was the Aztec name for the people who lived in this area at the much later time of Aztec dominance. Ancient Mesoamericans, spanning from ancient Olmecs to Aztecs, extracted latex from Castilla elastica, a type of rubber tree in the area. The juice of a local vine, Ipomoea alba, was then mixed with this latex to create rubber as early as 1600 BC.
It is not known what name the ancient Olmec used for themselves. Later Mesoamerican accounts seem to refer to the ancient Olmec as "Tamoanchan".
Physical evidence such as trade goods, architecture similarities, and genetic studies showing migrations can indicate relationships between Maya and other cultures. Religious evidence could include shared symbolism, myths, or ceremonial practices found in archaeological artifacts or texts that suggest cultural exchanges or influences. Historical records and accounts from neighboring civilizations may also provide additional insights into interactions and connections between the Maya and other cultures.
Factors that influence cultural diversity include historical background, geography, social norms, immigration patterns, and globalization. Historical events such as colonization or trade routes can shape cultural diversity, while geography can impact isolation or connection between groups. Social norms and values within a society can determine the level of acceptance and integration of diverse cultures, and immigration patterns contribute to the mix of cultures in a particular region. Globalization also plays a role by facilitating the exchange of ideas, practices, and traditions between cultures.
