Abstract in brief

The Santa Elina rock shelter in Central Brazil shows evidence of human settlements dating back to the last glacial maximum, with archaeological layers containing Pleistocene tools linked to giant ground sloth remains.
Analysis of these remains, including human-modified osteoderms, was conducted using advanced techniques like microscopy and microtomography, revealing intentional modifications to the bones before they fossilized.
This study supports the idea that humans coexisted with megafauna in South America, suggesting they were actively creating tools from the bones of giant ground sloths during this period.

How long humans are present in South America? Recent results support the hypothesis that humans were in South America thousands of years before the extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna in the continent. https://t.co/PVjRQJPpYL

Você já viu um pingente feito em osso de preguiça gigante, com +25 mil anos? 3 deles foram encontrados no abrigo rochoso de Santa Elina, em MT. Foram feitos em osso fresco (antes de virar fóssil). Junto a eles tem outros artefatos. Tem arte rupestre também. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2023.0316

The evidence of human presence in Brazil before 20 kya is now irrefutable. Apparently these people were of Australasian origin, few in numbers, didn't spread much, and left no descendants outside Brazil. The mystery deepens. https://t.co/cjBJKLlMzG
