Book Summary: This Open Access Book Examines The Untold Human History Of The Amazon Rainforest, From The Arrival Of The Earliest Humans To The Present. A Spate Of Recent Discoveries In Unexplored Regions And Technological Breakthroughs Have Allowed Us To Peer Through The Forest Canopy To The Earth Below, Revealing An Entirely New Picture Of Amazonian Past, Which Overturns The Long-held Assumption Of A Virgin Rainforest. This Book Demonstrates How Amazonia’s Current Diversity Of Landscapes And People Are Deeply Rooted In Prehistory With Lasting Repercussions On Today’s Rainforests. Among The Major Achievements Of Ancient Amazonian Peoples Were The Domestication Of Globally Important Crops, Including Manioc, Cacao, Rice, Yams And Sweet Potato, Manufactured America’s First Ceramics, Engineered The Landscape For Sustainable Food Production, Built Massive Geometric Ceremonial Structures, And Had Distinctively Complex, Early Urban Polities That Can Rival Any Civilization Of Antiquity. Amazonia Is Currently Facing A Crisis And Lessons From Its Traditional Peoples Are More Urgent Than Ever. The Extraordinary Archaeological Discoveries Of Recent Years Are Not Just Spectacle, But Represent The History Of A Way Of Life That Is Rapidly Disappearing, And On Which The Amazonian Rainforest As A Major Reservoir Of Biodiversity, And In Turn All Humanity, Depends. By Connecting The Past To The Present And Bringing To Light The Critical Role Of Today's Indigenous And Traditional Lands In Providing A Barrier To Deforestation Under Current Climate And Political Pressures, The Archaeology Of Amazonia Lays Out The Way Ahead To A More Socially Responsible Future Of Rainforest Management.
