Evolutionary History Of The Llama
The modern-day llama belongs to the Camelidae family whose origins began in North America over 82 million years ago. Originally coming from three ancestry lines of the Camelops, Camelus, and Lama, these Camelids then migrated to South America around 3 million years ago where they adapted to the environment, and their long-limbed ancestors were replaced with the shorter-limbed species, making it easier for them to climb the mountainous terrain of the Andes. By the end of the last ice age, about 12,000 years ago, they had become extinct in North America.
Llamas have evolved to thrive at the elevation of the Andes and they are now one of the easiest pack animals to train. Domesticated by the Incas around 5000 years ago, llamas were originally used for their wool but are also used as pack animals as well as a source of meat.
