Who says the Inca are in the past? The Quichua-speaking peoples are the same culture; the word "Inca" simply means "ruler." They've adapted, just not to a new climate - to new religion, a new language, and new rulers. (And in most cases, they've actually forced those things to adapt to them.)

I'm originally Canadian, Jack, from close to the Arctic circle, so I know all about adapting to the climate. Genetically, I'm of Scots/Viking ancestry. Moving hasn't changed who I am, it's just made my feet warmer in December and made it easier for me to grow bananas.
