Researchers have discovered evidence that humans settled the Colombian Amazon around 13,000 years ago, as part of a mass migration across the Americas. The findings, based on an archaeological site called Serranía de la Lindosa, reveal that early Americans lived in rock shelters, created rock art, and utilized the area for hunting and gathering. Soil samples and analysis provided insights into periods of occupation and abandonment, as well as evidence of domestic and sacred use of the rock shelters. The study sheds light on the lives and historical trajectories of early inhabitants in the region.
