 More precise analysis of bone and teeth of these mummies has demonstrated that alpacas were domesticated from the "Vicugna vicugna".Other research, considering the behavioral and morphological characteristics of alpacas and their wild counterparts, seems to indicate that alpacas could find their origins in "Lama guanicoe" as well as "Vicugna vicugna", or even a hybrid of both.Genetic analysis shows a different picture of the origins of the alpaca.
