How aridoamerica is limited by the US-Mexican border, established in 1849 ??? Nobody can have a look on spanish speaking web pages instead of propagating "racial based" informations ?
This a very poor article....

I'm afraid that I have to question the map. "Aridoamerica" is supposed to cover the desert or near-desert regions of Mexico and the Southwest U.S. that had significant pre-Columbian populations. The map shown encompasses large swaths of forested areas and even a great deal of swampland. The sources listed do not appear to explicitly define this region per se. You can look at the following for reference:
Precipitation Map
This shows that approximately 1/10 - 1/5 of the area shown on the map in the northeast cannot be classified in this way.
Is there any actual documentation that shows that anthropologists or geographers actually use the term in this way?

The claim that the region receives 120 to 160 cm of precipitation annually is way off. In addition to the map referenced by MC above, I used a quick search to find the following: http://kids.britannica.com/comptons/art-166534/Average-annual-precipitation-for-North-America which shows that most of the region shown on the map of "Aridoamerica" receives 20 to 80 cm per year.

Accepting the presumed convenience of representing what are actually transition zones by lines, the map labeled Aridoamerica needs a northern boundary to enclose the appropriate space, and U.S. states outlined as Mexican states are. Barefoot through the chollas ( talk) 20:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
