Acho que você está me confundindo com outra pessoa, eu não conheço nem o sr. nem o usuário Jorge Stolfi. Marcelo R. 18:22, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Olá Claus,

Conheço esse outro Marcelo Reis pelas pesquisas do Google, o mais interessante é que ele tem o mesmo nome do meio que eu, também, de modo que posso brincar estar fazendo meu segundo curso na Unicamp.

Desculpa pelo uso do "sr." formal, não foi sintoma de ter ficado nervoso, é que eu costumo tratar pessoas desconhecidas assim mesmo. E vê se convence o outro Marcelo Reis a participar da Wikipédia também! Abraço, Marcelo R. 16:20, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Amazon settlement

On ecosystem alteration:

The influence of human alteration has been generally underestimated, reports Darna L. Dufour: “Much of what has been considered natural forest in Amazonia is probably the result of hundreds of years of human use and management.” “Use of Tropical Rainforests by Native Amazonians,” BioScience 40, no. 9 (October 1990):658. For an example of how such peoples integrated planting into their nomadic lifestyles, see Rival, Laura, 1993. "The Growth of Family Trees: Understanding Huaorani Perceptions of the Forest," Man 28(4):635-652.

I'm adding it as a note.

Re concentration on the Atlantic:

It's perhaps sloppy to say they were concentrated; more accurate to say that a number of native peoples with higher density settlement (not necessarily hunter-gatherers, or mixing h-g'ing with other lifestyles) lived on the coast and other peoples lived as hunter-gatherer-planters (see above) generally inland. I'll work on getting you a cite for this mix.

I'm also slightly restructuring.
