Abstract
At the beginning of the twenty-sixth century, some of the people that inhabited Latin America principally the Aztecs, Mayas, and Incas had some scientific and technological knowledge many times superior to that which, at the same time, existed in Europe or in China. In some fields such as astronomy, botany, pharmacology, and metallurgy, the Spanish assimilated the knowledge acquired in the region and disseminated it throughout Europe.
