Delicious guinea pigs: Seasonality studies and the use of fat in the pre-Columbian Andean diet
Abstract In the Nearctic ecozone (temperate, subarctic, and arctic environments) hunter-gatherers often have to rely on diets with inadequate caloric intakes during certain times of the year. Although the Neotropic ecozone has different and less extreme conditions, it can also be nutritionally chall...
