Abstract
Abstract The Andes and the Amazon are two contrasting environments, but they have common processes related to human-animal relationships. In this work, we examine the history of these relationships, which encompass different chronologies in both regions. The available ethnographic information indicates complex modes of relationship, including common features (such as the concept of animal spirit) between animals and humans, which is a shared feature of the traditional societies in both regions. These common features are hunting, captivity, and domestication. We highlight the diversity of these local trajectories. Temporal trends in the relationship between people and animals are used as indicators of contrasting factors of the human attitudes to animals. In the Andes, camelid hunting and management characterized social strategies. Meanwhile, the use of aquatic resources, especially freshwater mollusks, as a construction material, was one of the main strategies of animal procurement. Also, processing marks are indicative of different cultural traditions in the processing of animal resources.
