Resumen:
Contemporary ecology employs comparisons among ecosystems to explore how similarities and differences in circumstances shape alternative human adaptive strategies. Central West Argentina and the Great Basin exhibit similarities and differences that present opportunities to investigate subjects such as the foragerfarmer transition, forager mobility, settlement pattern and group size, technology, and the evolution of social complexity. The mutual exploration of large-scale ecological problems by researchers working in distant geographic areas is consistent with an evolutionary analysis of cultural causation at scales beyond culture history.
