I thought that the whole point about that segment was that a.m.
monticola was NOT the only race found above a certain hight on Mt.
Kilimanjaro and that there was inter-breeding. It seemed to me that the
message was that it was ENVIRONMENT (i.e. no interference from
predators) rather than GENETICS that made the monticola less aggressive.
