There were once less than 30 California Condors left. How does this affect the species, genetically?

All future California Condors will necessarily originate from those few. Is there enough generic diversity with those 30 subjects for the species to recover and thrive?

Yes actually!  There were three distinct families that were left over and when breeding programs were started they made sure to breed condors to those who were least like them.  Condors were transfered between breeding facilities on a regular basis and the condors that are alive now have the broadest "range" of genetic diversity.  The condors that survived would also, theoretically, be the strongest and most able to survive meaning that any of their offspring have the greatest chance of survival.

The bad part is diseases which arise when both parents are carriers.  By testing the population for these diseases and only breeding pairs that would select against this, the condors alive now are very healthy and stand a great chance of recovery.
