Dataset of Circumstances around the Extinction of Historical Indigenous Groups in the Brazilian Amazon, Based on Nimuendajú's Ethnohistorical Map
<p>Curt Nimuendajú's Ethnohistorical Map (Nimuendajú, 2017) is a rich source of information about Indigenous history in South America. In a recent paper (Barsanetti and Ferreira, 2024), we use the Ethnohistorical Map in a quantitative investigation on the influence of historical Indigenous extinctions on long-run occupation patterns in the Brazilian Amazon, especially deforestation. As a by-product of the analysis, we produced a dataset cataloging the extinction circumstances surrounding the extinctions of Indigenous groups in the ethnohistorical data.</p> <p>The classification is in the file List.xlsx. A dictionary explaining the classification of each group in detail is in Dictionary.pdf.</p> <p>This version: November, 2024.</p> <p>References:</p> <p>Barsanetti, Bruno and Alipio Ferreira (2024). “Historical Indigenous Extinctions and Modern Deforestation in the Amazon”.

Historical biogeography and character-mapping of Hiptage (Malpighiaceae) corroborate Indochina's rainforests as one of the main sources of plant diversity in Southeastern Asia
<p>In Malpighiaceae,<b> </b><i>Hiptage</i> represents one of the seven past dispersal events from the Neotropics to the Paleotropical region, being by far the most widely diversified and distributed genus of Paleotropical Malpighiaceae. In this study, we tested the monophyly of the current infrageneric classification of <i>Hiptage</i> with a dated and calibrated molecular phylogeny. We also reconstructed ancestral areas to elucidate which route led to the colonization of Southeast Asia by the most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of this genus (Mainland or Indian routes). The pre-existing infrageneric classification of <i>Hiptage</i> was recovered as non-monophyletic due to being solely based on homoplasic morphological characters, such as the presence and number of sepal nectar glands. Regarding its biogeography, the MRCA of <i>Hiptage</i> arose in the rainforests of southeast Asia ca. 24.0 Mya and greatly diversified in this region. Few lineages have dispersed eastward to the pacific islands or westwards to India. Based on our results, we hypothesize that the MRCA of <i>Hiptage</i> did not take the Indian route to reach Southeastern Asia. Instead, it reached this region by past mainland forest connections between North America-Europe (Boreotropical hypothesis) and southeast Asia. Nonetheless, distribution ranges for the species of <i>Hiptage</i> must be carefully revised, and the five species of <i>Hiptage</i> endemic to India must also be sampled so we can properly test which route led the MRCA of <i>Hiptage</i> to reach Southeast Asia in the early Miocene.</p>
Distribution. Restricted and patchy range in NE Madagascar that includes the humid forest belt extending from the Marojejy Massif and the Andapa Basin to Maroantsetra; the Androranga River may be the NE distributional limit in the Tsaratanana Corridor, although further surveys are needed to confirm this, and the Antainambalana River in the Makira Forest protected area is currently regarded as the S boundary. Currently, Marojejy represents the N limit ofits distribution, although historic range maps suggest that it once occurred as far N as the Bemarivo River near Sambava. The NE distributional limit in Makira was only recently established, when a few groups were found in the Antohaka Lava Forest, but informal reports suggest that the unprotected Maherivaratra Forest, outside NE Makira, may also contain Silky Sifakas. in Indriidae

Western Tigray in 165 historical and 33 ethno-linguistic maps (1475-2014)
<p>There is a wide array of historical maps and records which jointly reveal that the territorial organisation of northern Ethiopia has tremendously changed over the last four centuries.</p> <p>Historical maps representing the Western Zone of the Tigray Region (Welkait and adjacent districts, Fig. 1) have been retrieved from well-established repositories. Only maps prepared in the same period (co-eval maps) were used. Each map was screened for representation of internal borders, indicating sway or territorial control. Out of 165 maps, spanning the period 1475-1967, 159 were precise enough to be analysed, of which 93 display territorial control. Descriptive statistics of the dataset as a whole are presented.</p> <p>Starting from the late 16<sup>th</sup> C., territorial control is frequently and clearly shown, with 57 maps (between 1570 and 1941) displaying a boundary that is located well south of the Tekeze River, or even south of the Simien mountains (Fig. 2). Welkait is explicitly included within a larger Tigray confederation (periods 1707-1794, 1829-1898, 1908-1909, and 1935-1941) (Fig. 3); it is briefly mapped as part of Amhara in 1891-1896 and part of Gondar from 1944-1990. At other periods it appears independent or part of a larger Mezaga (“dark earth”) lowland region. The Amhara/Gondar – Tigray border is mapped on the Tekeze River at short intervals in 1844-1847, 1860-1872, and 1891-1896 and then more permanently between 1944 and 1990. The meta-analyis of the historical maps shows that for the larger part of the last 300 years, Western Tigray has been under Tigray jurisdiction (Fig. 5). However, at times of upheaval, the territory has been briefly reorganized under either the Amhara polities or was autonomous.</p> <p>These maps demonstrate that the argument that Welkait was “<em>always</em> a part of Begemdir”, or else Amhara, is not based on evidence, apart from a territorial reorganisation in the mid-twentieth century. In contrast, contemporary Tigray is a valid territory, whose legitimacy stems from modern federalism’s faculty to create a region away from concepts of the Ethiopian empire-state. In 1991-4, when the boundaries of the Tigray Region were established as part of federal Ethiopia, local self-determination was way more important than historical maps. Remarkably, the consensus of the 20<sup>th</sup> C. ethno-linguistic maps of the Ethiopian state sustains the current extent of the Tigray region.</p> <p>In other words: the Amhara nationalist narrative that there was continuous ancestral ownership of Western Tigray is not confirmed by a meta-analysis of the historical maps. We conclude with the suggestion to especially consider the recent and subrecent actual world, including language maps.</p>
