Premise: Amerigo Vespucci ( [ ameˈriːɡo vesˈputtʃi ] ; March 9 , 1454February 22 , 1512 ) was an Italian explorer , financier , navigator and cartographer who first demonstrated that Brazil and the West Indies did not represent Asia 's eastern outskirts as initially conjectured from Columbus ' voyages , but instead constituted an entirely separate landmass hitherto unknown to Old Worlders . Colloquially referred to as the New World , this second super continent came to be termed `` Americas '' , deriving its name from Americus , the Latin version of Vespucci 's first name .
Hypothesis: Amerigo Vespucci was only a cook.
