R. aResponse to comment by McMichael, Piperno and Bush.h[electronic resource] c2015 aWe thank McMichael et al. for commenting on our recent review [1]. They focus on: our misinterpretation of their published data; use of data that is not pre-Conquest; and the extrapolative nature of our review. As they point out, we agree with them about heterogeneous landscape domestication across Amazonia, but we dis- agree with their conclusions about the extent to which forests were altered in western Amazonia and elsewhere [2,3]. As western Amazonia covers approxi- mately 2 000 000 km2, they are making a major statement. We consider their claim to be of an excessively 'extrapolative nature' given their data. aAmazonia aCarvão Vegetal aFitólito1 aDENEVAN, W. M.1 aHECKENBERGER, M. J.1 aJUNQUEIRA, A. B.1 aNEVES, E.
