摘要
The Dispersal of Bananas (Musaspp.) to the Americas in the Sixteenth Century. So far, studies on the spread of banana cultivation in the Americas during the first century of American colonization have given rise to several hypotheses that are not very well supported. In this paper we use different methodologies-ethnobotany, history, and linguistics-to explain how this process occurred and to resolve the doubts that have arisen about the presence of bananas in the Americas before the arrival of the Spanish and Portuguese. To do so, we used philological databases comprising 7,850 documents, produced between 1492 and 1600. This work shows how the speed of the spread of banana cultivation and the presence of foreign varieties in the Americas can be perfectly explained in the light of the historical and ethnobotanical analysis of the accounts written by the inhabitants of the continents in the 16th century. Expansion del platano (Musa spp.) en America durante el siglo XVI. Hasta el momento, los estudios realizados sobre la dispersion del cultivo del platano en las Americas durante el primer siglo de colonizacion americana han dado lugar a varias hipotesis poco contrastadas. En el presente trabajo utilizamos diferentes metodologias, etnobotanica, historica y linguistica, para explicar como sucedio este proceso y resolver las dudas aparecidas sobre la presencia de platanos en las Americas antes de la llegada de espanoles y portugueses. Para ello empleamos bases de datos filologicas integradas por 7.850 documentos, realizados entre 1492 y 1600. Este trabajo muestra como la velocidad de propagacion del cultivo del platano y la presencia de variedades extranas en el ambito americano pueden explicarse perfectamente a la luz del analisis historico y etnobotanico de los relatos escritos por los habitantes del continente en el siglo XVI.
