Did you know that most 18/19thC coastal plantations were located at places where the largest Indigenous towns once stood centuries earlier? A great example of how deep-time land use practices create legacies that drive future, cumulative human-ecosystem engagements. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Did llamas make it to southeast South America before Europeans? 🦙
Our manuscript used #archaeology, isotopes, and palaeogenomics #aDNA to find out 🦙🦴🧬
In summary, nope. Just guanacos hanging on into early historical times.
