The authors obtain further results on the classification of pointed Hopf algebras over the field \(\mathbb C\) of complex numbers. This is done according to the general method (so-called Lifting Method) developed by the first-named author and \textit{H.-J. Schneider} [Math. Sci. Res. Inst. Publ. 43, 1-68 (2002; Zbl 1011.16025)]. In order to classify pointed Hopf algebras \(H\) with a finite group \(G\) of group-like elements, a key step is to determine whether the dimension of the Nichols algebra associated to a Yetter-Drinfeld module over \(G\) is finite. The main result of the paper under review states that Nichols algebras over the alternating group \(A_n\), \(n\geq 5\), are infinite dimensional. This implies that every finite dimensional pointed Hopf algebra with group of group-likes isomorphic to \(A_n\), \(n\geq 5\), is isomorphic to the group algebra of \(A_n\). On the other hand, it is shown that Nichols algebras over the symmetric group \(S_n\), \(n\geq 5\), are infinite dimensional, except maybe those quadratic algebras related to transpositions appearing in the work of \textit{S. Fomin} and \textit{A. N. Kirillov} [Prog. Math. 172, 147-182 (1999; Zbl 0940.05070)] and one further class in the case of \(S_5\). It is also shown that for any simple rack \(X\) arising from a symmetric group, except for those in a small list, and for any \(2\)-cocycle on \(X\) the dimension of the corresponding Nichols algebra is infinite. This improves previous results for the symmetric group obtained by \textit{N. Andruskiewitsch} and \textit{F. Fantino} [J. Math. Phys. 48, No. 3, 033502 (2007; Zbl 1112.16035)] and \textit{N. Andruskiewitsch, F. Fantino} and \textit{S. Zhang} [Manuscr. Math. 128, No. 3, 359-371 (2009; Zbl 1169.16022)].
