I found this very interesting in that story:

For archaeologists today, that makes the field all the more exciting. "That's one of the most amazing things about studying Mesoamerican archaeology—it's one of a half-dozen or so cases of independent development of agriculture, development of complexity, development of cities," Rosenswig says.

Given the evolutionary age of modern humans (100'sK years) its odd that we went from primitive to much more sophisticated, all over the world in something like 3K-5K years or so, and this despite the fact that the America's would have been isolated from say the middle east.
