What is the history of the Amazon river?
It would take an entire library of texts to fully answer this question. You don’t specify geographical, biological or human history. The Amazon started to form about 200 million years ago, as a result of continental tilt when Pangea began splitting into separate continents and the plates began drifting. During the ice ages, creatures migrated to the Amazon’s banks because it was near the equator and stayed warm. This led to great biological diversity. Europeans discovered the river in the 16th century, and that is when it became part of written history. If you can be more specific with your question you’ll get better answers!
