説明

<jats:title>Mountain dwellers of the Pleistocene</jats:title> <jats:p> Humans colonized the inhospitable high Andes at least 11.5 thousand years ago. Rademaker <jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic> unearthed evidence of hunter-gatherer occupation at heights of almost 4500 m in Peru in two open-air sites. The sites contained more than 750 tools, including likely spearheads and scrapers. A nearby rockshelter with sooted ceilings and floor detritus may have been a campsite. The sites were probably used seasonally for hunting vicuña and other high-altitude prey. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:italic>Science</jats:italic> , this issue p. <jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6208" page="466" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="346" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1258260">466</jats:related-article> </jats:p>
