Question

Some archeologists have debated whether the Olmec were a "mother culture" of Mesoamerican cultures or a "sister culture." Which of the following scenarios would support the hypothesis that the Olmec were not a "mother culture" but rather a "sister culture"?

-The Olmecs' use of some ritual items were adopted by other Mesoamerican cultures.

-The Olmecs invented a popular ball game that later cultures played.

-The Olmecs shared tool-making techniques with a contemporary culture.

-The Olmecs' celebration of some gods was adopted by later cultures.

Answer 1

Your answer would be B). The Olmec's invented a popular ball game that later cultures played.

A sister culture is a culture that gets traditions from civilizations that are around them and then pass on their culture to succeeding civilizations for generations to come. The Olmec's invented a game, and it was later on played by other cultures, and that perfectly fits the description of what a "sister culture" is.
