Chapter Nine CIVILIZATION AND SO ON Whenever rulers and military classes tolerated merchants and refrained from taxing them so heavily or robbing them so often as to inhibit trade and commerce, new potentialities of economic production arising from regional specialization and economies of scale in manufacture could begin to show their capacity to increase human wealth. —William McNeill There is an old joke about the standard instructions on American shampoo containers, "Lather, rinse, repeat." A man takes the directions literally and spends the rest of his life in the shower—lathering, rinsing, lathering, rinsing, lathering, rinsing.

The researchersarcheologist Dorothy Hosler, chemist Sandra Burkett and 21-year-old Michael Tarkanian of Brockton, Mass.will publish their findings in a report, "Prehistoric Polymers: Rubber Processing in Ancient Mesoamerica," in tomorrow's (June 18) issue of the journal Science. The researchers' most significant finding is that the Mesoamerican civilization, which flourished from at least 2,000 BC to the Spanish invasion in 1521 in what is now parts of Mexico and Central America, engineered the properties of latex from the native Castilla elastica tree. These ancient people enhanced the elasticity of this otherwise brittle material by mixing it with juice from the morning glory species Ipomoea alba. The Mesoamerican peoples, known for their achievements in astronomy, civil engineering, urban planning and mathematics, used the resulting pliable, tough and workable material to make solid rubber balls, hollow human figurines and bindings.
