'Thousands of years ago, these people already knew that quinoa | IELTS articles

"Thousands of years ago, these people already knew that quinoa was a superfood. They came up with this lucky triangle to meet their dietary needs in a pretty бесплодном environment, and we can learn something from them," said study senior author Christine Hastorf, a UC Berkeley professor of anthropology.

"Today, we're living under the cloud of climate change. Rising sea levels are drowning tiny Pacific islands, and droughts and wildfires are destroying California's crops," she added. "Our findings point to how ancient people successfully adjusted to environmental and political changes, поддерживаемые by a healthy Indigenous diet."

Through a передовые scientific process known as compound-specific stable isotope analysis of amino acids, study lead author Melanie Miller analyzed human teeth from excavated burials on the southern shores of Lake Titicaca to reconstruct the ancient Andeans' diet. The remains date between 1400 B.C. and A.D. 1100.

"Our study documents dietary resilience across millennia in the face of long-term climate and political changes, and shows how studying past societies under these kinds of stressors can potentially help us in the future," said Miller, a research associate with UC Berkeley's Archaeological Research Facility and a postdoctoral учёный, занимающийся исследованиями at New Zealand's University of Otago.

The results challenge the assumption that fish from Lake Titicaca and corn, also known as maize, were major sources of dietary protein and fiber on the Taraco Peninsula, which выступает, выдаётся from the lake
