What are some possible knock-on effects of the early Norte Chico civilization developing trade networks that reached the Andes, thereby bringing domesticated llamas into their civilization? Could this lead to an earlier development of large-scale South American civilizations with widespread trade networks?

Speculation is that Norte Chico was founded around 3500 BCE. How far might domesticated llamas have spread before Columbus/the Vikings arrive? What effect would it have?
