Question

How do people live in the rainforest?

Answer 1

Drinking a lot of water.

Answer 2

Have you ever been in one?

the Environment is dark but quite comfortable ,when it does not rain ,and there is all kinds of food around .such as edible plants,insects,mushrooms ,roots,birds, animals etc

.

The flora absorbs the heat in the day and releases it at night ,so there is an even temperature almost 24 hours around and most being near the Equator have little variation throughout the year ,except for the periods of rainfall.

I live in a garden in the humid tropics,when it is cooking hot in the streets,the garden is very comfortable and the nights are never cold.

The worst aspect is the midgies ,tiny biting flies ,and mosquito`s ,but we got fish in the ponds to eat their larvae and i use repellent,to be bug free, jungle people also use certain plant sap, for the same reason.

In rain forests the lower parts are wet ,swampy (lots of bugs)but there also are higher parts which are comfortable.

People have always lived in RAINFORESTS ,

Today the oldest examples of humanity are still found there.

,because they are the furthest removed from civilization .

In Borneo,the Amazon ,the Congo  and many other places.

All central American Indigenous ancient civilizations ,were in rain forests ,and all had sophisticated agriculture.(all  are also associated with gold)

So when we can utilize the forces of this intense Environment  of water and heat , to our advantage ,with out succumbing to the dangers,rain forests are more than adequate to support Man,

The soil is almost always very fragile and poor in these areas ,but it appears that the oldest discovered civilization already had an answer for that.

On the Colombian side of the amazon ,they have found signs of an Ancient civilization  ,about 150.000 years old.

A large part of this rain forest had artificial soil about half a meter deep made from burning plants like charcoal.(this in itself is very sophisticated)

And everywhere were artificial mounds with the remains of pottery ,of pots that must have been more than 2 meters in diameter ,

One  pot like this feeds hundreds of people,

They discovered  hundreds of these mounds ,indicating that maybe over a million people thrived in this part of the rain forests ,

,And their method of making their life bearable ,seems to be having these raised areas ,for sleeping and eating ,away from the wet rainforest floor.

As to why so many people ,with agriculture would live in the rain forest can be explained ,that this was the site of the legendary El Dorado,

What is more difficult to explain is why they would want to mine Gold ,(in the days before Wallmart) and for whom ,

Who were their bosses , who had these sophisticated agricultural methods using man made carbon as a soil supplement .

And why did they need gold.?
