{{main|History of Argentina}}
The first signs of human presence in Argentina are not located in the [[Patagonia]] (Piedra Museo, Santa Cruz), and date from 11,000 BC <ref>[http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piedra_Museo Piedra Museo]</ref>. Around 1 AD, several corn-based civilizations developed in the western and northwestern [[Andean]] region (Ansilta, Condorhuasi, Ciénaga, Aguada, Santa María, Huarpes, Diaguitas, Sanavirones, among others). In 1480 the [[Inca Empire]], under the rule of emperor Pachacutec, launched an offensive and conquered present-day northwestern Argentina, integrating it into a region called [[Collasuyu]]. In the northeastern area, the [[Guaraní]] developed a culture based on [[yuca]] and [[sweet potato]]. The central and southern areas ([[Pampas]] and Patagonia) were dominated by nomadic cultures, unified in the 17th century by the [[Mapuche]]s, and never conquered by the Europeans.
