Researchers at the Max Planck Institute study human impact on tropical forests, showing lasting environmental effects from early interactions that extend beyond the 21st century.
As a result, wild and domesticated animal and plant species were traded and introduced
The first review of the global impact of humans on tropical forests in the ancient past shows that humans have been altering these environments for at least 45,000 years.
