Andean peoples hunted and gathered long after they embraced farming
"Around 6,000 years ago, people in the Andes developed ingenious ways to thrive in a challenging landscape."
"Research now reveals that they built a system of communal hunting that lasted well into the age of colonization."
Around 6,000 years ago, people in the Andes developed ingenious strategies to survive and thrive in a demanding environment. These strategies included the construction of a communal hunting system. The communal hunting system endured across centuries and continued to function well into the age of colonization. The long persistence of communal hunting indicates sustained social cooperation and coordinated resource management among Andean communities. The continuity of these practices underscores deep-rooted cultural and organizational adaptations to the Andean landscape.
