Answer 1

your question is not clear

Answer 2

The sister culture thesis states that the 'Olmec and other cultures' in 'Mesoamerica' influenced each other as they developed.

EXPLANATION:

The proponents of sister culture thesis state that Olmecs were first among equals and did not originate from any cultural change. The thesis states that there were many other cultures that developed along with the Olmec culture and these cultures in turn provided a rich culture to Mesoamerica. The cultures had a competitive interaction to speed up evolution.
