Item Overkill, sítios de matança e as evidências de interação homem megafauna na América do Sul(Universidade Federal de Goiás, 2021-12-30) Bampi, Hugo; Ribeiro, Matheus de Souza Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9592727826334407; Ribeiro, Matheus de Souza Lima; Faleiro, Frederico Augusto Martins Valtuille; Terribile, Levi CarinaDuring the end of the Quaternary, humans exploited (hunting/scavenging) megafauna across the Americas. However, South American (SA) megafauna kill/scavenge sites (MKSSs) have been persistently underestimated or even neglected by researchers, biasing further analyses such as the human impact on megafauna extinctions. Here, we systematically review the evidence of exploitation in the South America, test overkill hypothesis in SA, compare its quantity and quality against exploitation data from North America, and suggest the cause of South American data bias. A total of 18 and 17 SMDMs were found in AS and North America (NA), with 15 and 5 genera explored by humans. South American overkill was not supported by these empirical data. AS is neglected by researchers from the Northern Hemisphere (with an emphasis on North Americans). SA does have quantitative and qualitative data similar to or better than NA on the exploitation of megafauna. We suggest that the reason for this pattern is a linguistic bias (shortage of reading works written in Latin languages by researchers from the northern hemisphere). This dissertation contributed to a greater understanding of humanmegafauna interactions and overkill in the Americas. We emphasize the importance of reducing the linguistic bias to further advance the discussion on the extinction of megafauna in the Quaternary
