Once upon a time ping.

I guess that similar may have occurred many times in many places.

I was thinking the other day about the sometimes positive effects of human activity for some species. I did a web search and found tons of articles on the negative impact but little on the positive. For example old style farms with rotating crops, composting and hedgerows provided a better environment for many plants and animals. There are birds, animals, butterflies and plants that generally found in greater abundance around light human habitation. Thanks for the post it fit in nicely with some of my recent thinking.

The vultures finally migrated to the North American mainland and bred with coastal swamp apes, resulting in the modern-day hybrid Pelosiraptor tyrannicus.

Unanswered is the question of whether they were introduced deliberately, perhaps as a religious totem or as a means of keeping dead animals cleaned up, or were colonized by the vultures themselves.
