商品描述
This groundbreaking volume presents, for the first time in English, a broad historical review of the researches carried out over 170 years in the region of Lagoa Santa, Brazil, one of the most important archaeological regions in the Americas. From the pioneering work of the Danish naturalist Peter Lund in the XIX century to the recent research on the dispersion of early humans across South America, led by Walter A. Neves and colleagues, Lagoa Santa has offered remarkable findings, the largest collections of early human skeletons in the Americas, and has contributed to the overall discussions about the settlement of the Americas.
This edited volume aims to fill the lack of publications in English about Lagoa Santa and gathers representatives of all the main Brazilian institutions directly involved in the archaeological and paleontological investigations in the region, in order to provide the international scientific community a comprehensive and complete account of the researches that contributed to rewrite the history of the peopling of the Americas. The book is organized in two parts. The first consists of chapters describing each of the interventions in the region, beginning with the pioneering work of Peter Lund and culminating with the latest intervention led by Walter A. Neves and his team. The second part of the book consists of reviews of current relevant research foci in the region, such as migrations, health, mortuary rituals, paleontology, rock art and technology.商品描述(中文翻譯)
這本開創性的著作首次以英文呈現了對巴西 Lagoa Santa 地區進行的研究的廣泛歷史回顧，該地區是美洲最重要的考古區域之一。從19世紀丹麥自然學家彼得·倫德（Peter Lund）的開創性工作，到沃爾特·A·內維斯（Walter A. Neves）及其同事最近對早期人類在南美洲擴散的研究，Lagoa Santa 提供了顯著的發現，包括美洲最大的早期人類骨骼收藏，並對有關美洲定居的整體討論做出了貢獻。
這本編輯的著作旨在填補有關 Lagoa Santa 的英文出版物的缺乏，並匯集了所有主要巴西機構的代表，這些機構直接參與了該地區的考古和古生物學調查，以便為國際科學社群提供一個全面且完整的研究報告，這些研究有助於重寫美洲人類遷徙的歷史。
本書分為兩個部分。第一部分由描述該地區每次干預的章節組成，從彼得·倫德的開創性工作開始，直到沃爾特·A·內維斯及其團隊的最新干預。第二部分則包含對該地區當前相關研究焦點的回顧，例如遷徙、健康、喪葬儀式、古生物學、岩石藝術和技術。
作者簡介
Pedro Da-Gloria holds a Ph.D. in anthropology from The Ohio State University and is a researcher of the Laboratory for Human Evolutionary and Ecological Studies at the Biosciences Institute of the University of São Paulo (IB-USP). His main research focus is on the study of health and lifestyle of the early hunter-gatherers from Lagoa Santa. He also is involved in a project about the bioarchaeology of past human populations from Northern Chile, and is leading a project with rural populations from the Amazon, dedicated to create health models to be applied in living and past populations.
Walter A. Neves is full professor at the Biosciences Institute of the University of São Paulo (IB-USP), where he coordinates the Laboratory for Human Evolutionary and Ecological Studies in the Department of Genetics and Evolutionary Biology, which was the first laboratory dedicated to the study of biological anthropology in Latin America. He holds a Ph.D. in evolutionary biology from the IB-USP with post-doctoral studies at the Northwestern University, USA, and at the Department of Anthropology of the Faculty of Philosophy, Languages and Literature and Human Sciences of the University of São Paulo. Throughout his career he has contributed with many research groups in Brazil, United States, Argentina and Chile, and has developed a vast and prolific academic career in the areas of biological anthropology, prehistoric archaeology, human evolution, human ecology, and evolutionary theory. His main research focus is on the Settlement of the Americas, with a special emphasis on the study of Lagoa Santa Early Holocene hunter-gatherers. He has published over 120 articles, 12 books, 22 book chapters, and advised 20 master and 7 Ph.D. students.
Mark Hubbe is an associate professor at the Department of Anthropology of The Ohio State University. He received his degree in biological anthropology from the University of São Paulo in 2006 and has focused most of his research efforts in the study of the biological characteristics of early South American human populations. Since 2000, he participates as co-investigator of the long-term project led by Prof. Walter A. Neves to excavate new sites in the Lagoa Santa region, in Central Brazil. His research focus has been the study of morphological affinities, processes of morphological adaptation, and modern human dispersion. Most recently, he has been applying quantitative analyses to processes of morphological differentiation and modern human dispersion across the planet.

Pedro Da-Gloria 擁有俄亥俄州立大學的人類學博士學位，並且是聖保羅大學生物科學研究所（IB-USP）人類演化與生態研究實驗室的研究員。他的主要研究重點是早期狩獵採集者的健康與生活方式，特別是來自 Lagoa Santa 的群體。他還參與了一個關於智利北部過去人類族群的生物考古學項目，並領導一個針對亞馬遜地區農村人口的項目，致力於建立可應用於現存及過去族群的健康模型。
Walter A. Neves 是聖保羅大學生物科學研究所（IB-USP）的正教授，負責協調該所遺傳學與演化生物學系的人類演化與生態研究實驗室，該實驗室是拉丁美洲首個專注於生物人類學研究的實驗室。他擁有聖保羅大學的演化生物學博士學位，並在美國西北大學及聖保羅大學哲學、語言與文學及人文科學系的人類學系進行博士後研究。在他的職業生涯中，他與巴西、美國、阿根廷和智利的多個研究團隊合作，並在生物人類學、史前考古學、人類演化、人類生態學和演化理論等領域發展了廣泛而豐富的學術生涯。他的主要研究重點是美洲的定居，特別強調 Lagoa Santa 早期全新世狩獵採集者的研究。他已發表超過 120 篇文章、12 本書、22 章書籍章節，並指導了 20 名碩士生和 7 名博士生。
Mark Hubbe 是俄亥俄州立大學人類學系的副教授。他於 2006 年在聖保羅大學獲得生物人類學學位，並將大部分研究精力集中在早期南美人類族群的生物特徵研究上。自 2000 年以來，他作為共同研究者參與由 Walter A. Neves 教授主導的長期項目，該項目旨在挖掘巴西中部 Lagoa Santa 地區的新遺址。他的研究重點是形態親緣關係、形態適應過程以及現代人類的擴散。最近，他已將定量分析應用於形態差異化過程和現代人類在全球的擴散研究。
