What year did Native Amazonians come to the rainforest?
The truth is, we don't know. We have evidence of about two to three thousand years of residence in the area of northern South America and Central America. Most of this is monolithic ruins, and most of that represents the latter half of that time. But, there are sites in lower South America that may date back as far as 170,000 years from the present. There are sights in North America that date from around that time as well. So, it is a fair bet that there were people in the space in between, Amazonia. Most archeologists don't accept the possibility that man existed on the Western Hemisphere that far back, and some doubt the existence of modern man then. The evidence exists, however, and the dating and relics are being sorted out and discussed.
