Explores the cultural role of cycads, plants that evolved over 250 million years ago and are now critically endangered, in the ancient and modern Mesoamerican and Caribbean worlds. This volume demonstrates how these plants have figured prominently in mythologies, rituals, art, and foodways from the Pleistocene-Holocene transition to the present.
