In the interview with Moche and the interviewee, the questions they asked one another had a positive impact on how they interacted.

South America, between 3500BC-2500BC, was inhabited with permanently established villages around the coast and a few groups of hunter-gatherers. Most of the villages prospered near the Pacific coast because the ocean had a rich population of marine life.
