The concept of culture is opposed to that of nature, and it is the relationship with man that makes them differentiable. Although they oppose each other, both concepts are inseparable, as culture turns out to be the set of solutions that man has found in his confrontation with nature and progressive domination over it. When speaking of the development of Andean culture in this century, we must start from this overlap between nature and culture. To begin with, we are going to see the main forms of human action on nature, and their social and cognitive implications, which have emerged mainly in the last four or five millennia of human presence in Andean environments.
