The range of human destinies? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andes

'the range' is the definition.
(Andes is an example)

'of human destinies?' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates a hidden word.
'ANDES' is hidden in the letters of 'human destinies'.

(Other definitions for andes that I've seen before include "Great S American mountains" , "A geographical feature" , "Great mountains of western S America" , "South American mountain chain" , "Mountains for the Danes, oddly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
