 abstract = {Predation – as an everyday phenomenon and as an important lynchpin in many shamanic cosmologies – has been a leitmotif in anthropological studies of personhood in Amazonia and the Siberian tundra.¹ A classic theme, such as predation, is often a wellspring of ideas. Not surprisingly, then, the study of predation has helped reveal what it means to be a person, spirit, animal, plant, stone or even a ‘thing’ in these two regions. The spirit of ontological unwrapping has since caught the widespread attention of anthropologists, who have honed the Amazonia– Siberian comparison,² or exported it as a ‘thought experiment’ to see how},
