Episode Synopsis

The South American rainforest, often thought to have evolved over millions of years, may actually be only a few hundred years old, as evidenced by ancient human populations who cleared forests and built cities before the land was reclaimed by nature. Anthropologist Anna Roosevelt's findings suggest that adaptation in the rainforest occurs more rapidly than previously believed.
