Anthropogenic influence on Amazonian forests in pre‐history: An ecological perspective
Abstract
An important debate has been re‐invigorated by new data concerning the size and environmental impacts of human populations in the Amazon Basin during pre‐history. Here, we review the history of debates concerning pre‐historic human occupation of the Amazon Basin along with the presentation of empirical data from archaeological and palaeoecological research. The combined evidence suggests that human occupation and resulting influence on Amazonian ecosystems were heterogeneous on both regional and local scales. Pre‐historic occupation sites are more likely to have been located in forests with a pronounced dry season or in forests that are within 15 km of a river floodplain, rather than in ever‐wet forests or in interfluvial regions far removed from large rivers. Forest enrichment of preferred species and game depletion through hunting are most probable within 15 km of an occupation site. Given the spatial and temporal patterning of these data, views of significant Amazonian‐wide cultural impacts on riverine and interfluvial forest are not supported at this time.

Ecological legacies from past human activities are more common near river margins.
“Our findings suggested that ecological legacies from past human activities are more common near river margins, which is in agreement with previous work from the western and central areas of Amazonia”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
