SocialMaya

The Olmec people lead modest lives. In Olmec society, there was an intimate association between man and animal (jaguar). Not much is known about the Olmec social structure, but it is assumed that it was hierarchical.

In Teotihuacan, people flowed to the city to farm and work crafts. It established a center of action that was more powerful than any created by the Toltec or Mexica. It was the most populous city of it's time, divided into different social classes. Teotihuacan was considered a complete civilization, with religion being the center of everything. When Teotihuacan falls, the inhabitants emigrate and take the culture with them, diffusing it throughout Mesoamerica.
