Honduras, 1993 Photograph by David Alan Harvey The lush rain forests of
northern Honduras are home to over 700 species of birds. Between 800
and 1,200 years ago, the great Mesoamerican Olmec civilization claimed
this stretch of rain forest. At its height, the "mother culture" of the
New World spanned as far north as Mexico City and as far south as
Honduras.

(Photograph shot on assignment for, but not published in, "New Light on
the Olmec," November 1993, National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
