征服前和当代安第斯美洲驼和羊驼表型的比较表明，在专业化育种发生故障后，欧洲接触，导致细纤维生产羊驼和美洲驼品种的消失。这种损失的原因最终在于西班牙征服期间安第斯土著牲畜和牧民的大量死亡。今天动物的异质性特征可以归因于广泛的杂交和世纪可能的遗传瓶颈。
Comparison of pre-conquest and contemporary Andean llama and alpaca phenotypes suggests that a breakdown in specialized breeding took place after European contact which led to the disappearance of fine fibre producing alpaca and llama breeds. The causes of this loss ultimately lie in the decimation of native Andean herds and herders during the Spanish conquest. The heterogeneous characteristics of today's animals can be attributed to extensive hybridization and a possible genetic bottle neck during the 16th century.
