Scicast

Ancient Paths and the Settlement of Brazil (SciCast #468) (2022x2)

Air date: Jan 14, 2022

In SciCast 396 we arrived in Brazilian lands and talked about “discovery” by the Portuguese, after all the territory already existed and was already vastly inhabited. So, in SciCast 438 we go a little deeper and talk about the first great Brazilian monoculture and its economic cycle and the colonial government. And we end the episode around 1630 with the Dutch invasion. Today, you accompany us through the entrances, flags and the old paths of the traditional people who lived here.
