- Especially considering the evidence that the condor was well on its way
- to extinction long before man ever stepped in. Its numbers and distribution
- are those of a relictual species, left stranded by the rapid climatic
- changes of the Pliestocene. (The giant sequoia is anothe example of this).
-
- That is, it may well have been ill-adapted to the current climate anyhow,
- so its current genetic poverty will make it pretty much inviable.
