A gallery of striking ochre paintings drawn onto massive rock faces offers insight into the close relationship between humans and animals living in the Amazon thousands of years ago.
Some of the imagery even depicts animals and humans morphing into each other, indicating"the rich mythology that guided generations of indigenous Amazonians," according to a statement from the University of Exeter. "These rock art sites include the earliest evidence of humans in western Amazonia, dating back 12,500 years," lead author Mark Robinson, an associate professor in the Department of Archaeology and History at the University of Exeter, said in the statement. The team found at least 22 species of animals, including deer, birds, peccary, lizards, turtles and tapir.
