Introduction: Monte Alegre Rock Art -- Geology and Climate Since the Last Ice Age -- Phenology and Ecology of Monte Alegre State Park -- Historical Accounts of the Rock Art -- Serra Da Lua and Serra Do Sol Rock Art -- Archaeoastronomy at Serra Da Lua and Serra Do Sol -- Stone Tools and Artifacts at Ererê -- Excavation and Investigation at Painel Do Pilao -- Solar-Aligned Pictographs at Painel Do Pilao -- Descendants or Inheritors?.

Through a presentation of the oldest rock art dated in the Americas, located in Monte Alegre, Brazil, this book analyzes an ancient ecological-astronomy strategy that theoretically made the rapid human migration in the Americas successful. It helps answer two vital questions long held by scholars and the general public alike: How did humans survive the rapid and massive climate changes at the end of the ice age? And how did founding populations (especially in the Americas) manage successful settlement, relatively rapidly, in ecosystems entirely foreign to them? It further initiates questions about the universal role that astronomy (and even astrology) might have played in cognitive human evolution and the success of burgeoning sedentism and eventual "civilization" throughout the world. The book makes a substantial contribution because of the wealth of cultural information it provides from Monte Alegre. It explains the author's analysis of pictographs, lithics, and landscape modifications that were excavated there and provides novel findings on the chronology and archaeoastronomy of the art. This book is indispensable for courses about Paleoindians, peopling of the Americas, environmental anthropology, cosmology, rock art studies, archeoastronomy, paleoecology, paleoethnobotany, and Amazonia. The pan-American indications of this work will appeal to archaeologists, historians, art historians, folklorists, Native American and Indigenous scholars, evolutionists, cognitive scientists, geographers, and the general public.
