摘要
In this paper, I examine Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene adaptations of hunter-gatherers to different ecosystems in northern South America. The role played by the climatic events associated with the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary in the evolution of culture in that part of the Americas is assessed in the light of those adaptations. The conclusion is that the Pleistocene/Holocene boundary is not very useful in understanding the human process of early colonization and adaptation to the Various ecosystems of northern South America, because a mechanism of cultural change cannot be linked to that boundary.
