The earliest people to inhabit New Mexico were the Paleo-Indians, who arrived around 12,000-10,000 BCE. They were nomadic hunter-gatherers who followed migrating game, primarily mammoths and other large animals. Over time, these early inhabitants evolved into more settled agricultural societies, such as the Ancestral Puebloans and Mogollon cultures, known for their advanced farming techniques and intricate pottery. These groups laid the foundation for the rich cultural heritage of New Mexico.
