In the present paper we show data relative to the language and thinking from ancient prehispanic people living in the place now called Oaxaca, Mexico. We point to the magic conception of man in these cultures. Also there are some parallelism between old Mexican and Greek cultures. Two of them are the archaic and naturalistic conception of the soul and the violent arrive of a different approach . One with a mentalistic conception. About where and when were the origins of scientific psychology or the authentic behaviorism, we got a known answer, it starts with Aristoteles and others ancient men during the fourth century before Christ. Of course, Aristoteles didn’t think on a science called psychology, but in his biological work his researches on the organism activities included, besides reproduction and metabolic mechanism, psychological behavior like sensations, memories, imagination, thinking and dreaming. Notably emphasis in this phenomena was the consideration of them as a way in which plants and animals interact whit the objects conforming their surrounding.
