This chapter deals with the relationships of human hunter-gatherers to other animals in their communities from a long-term perspective, by focusing on the patterns and processes occurring at this scale in South America. A number of instances are analysed concerning both prey and predators, especially in the Andean-Patagonian subregion, which can eventually be used in the construction of historical narratives concerning South American hunter-gatherers.
