“…comosus diversified dramatically in western Amazonia, especially in the northwestern center of crop diversity [1] and along the lower Negro River; in both areas a great diversity of advanced cultivars was developed in the absence of wild forms [95]. The peoples of western Amazonia demonstrated brilliant horticultural and plant-breeding skills, as this region is also an important center of domestication and diversification for many other fruits [1,5]. There, pineapple is still a major fruit crop for peoples like the Tikunas [95] and the Huitotos [102], who maintain a wide diversity of cultivars, and it ranks among the primary culturally defined keystone species for peoples like the Letuama.…”

“…It is cultivated for its fruits and wood in indigenous and traditional communities throughout Amazonia, and is considered a priority in many communities of Peruvian Amazonia [108][109][110]. The history of cultivation of this species is not registered, but morphological studies show that humans have selected inga for a considerable period of time, creating several semi-domesticated populations [1, 5,105]. Trees planted in the Peruvian Amazon bear some of the largest pods observed anywhere, and pods under cultivation are much longer and thicker than those in wild populations [105].…”

“…sororia McVaugh, Myrtaceae) é uma espécie frutífera semi-domesticada pelos ameríndios da Amazônia Ocidental, embora pouco conhecida na Amazônia Brasileira. Ε provavelmente originário da Amazônia Peruana e da região ocidental da Amazônia Brasileira (Pinedo et ai, 1981;Clement, 1989). Seu cultivo é economicamente promissor, pois o seu sabor é atrativo para o mercado internacional e tem grande potencial para processamento, inclusive misturado com outras frutas (Gentil & Clement, 1996).…”

“…Ancorados nas descobertas da genética e da arqueologia, os estudos clássicos em ecologia histórica têm estimulado e alcançado as fronteiras da antropologia, mostrando que ecossistemas amazônicos são, na verdade, resultado da ação humana que modificou e enriqueceu suas paisagens, classicamente tidas como naturais ou silvestres, através do processo de seleção, propagação e domesticação de um sem número de espécies (Clement 1989, Balée 1989. (1993) junto aos Makuna do Alto Rio Negro, em território colombiano, privilegiam as concepções nativas sobre o reino vegetal, revelando uma perspectiva mais que animista do mundo, na qual as plantas têm naturezas diversas, dependendo do ponto de vista de cada animal.…”
