The book examines the significant impact of human activities on the proliferation of palm trees in Amazonian landscapes, highlighting their cultural, economic, and ecological importance. It traces the historical relationship between humans and palms, detailing how these trees have been integral to the lives of local populations since the arrival of early hunters and gatherers over 20,000 years ago. Through this lens, the narrative reveals the deep interconnection between people and their environment in shaping the region's biodiversity.
