O knihe
It is estimated, based on archaeological data and
written
records from European settlers that from 8 to 140
million
indigenous people lived in the Americas when the 1492
voyage of Christopher Columbus began a historical
period of
large-scale European interaction with the Americas.
European contact with what they called the "New
World" led
to the European colonization of the Americas, with
millions
of emigrants (willing and unwilling) from the "Old
World"
eventually resettling in the Americas. While the
population
of Old World peoples in the Americas steadily grew in
the
centuries after Columbus, the population of the American
indigenous peoples plummeted most probably due to their
susceptibility to old world diseases they had never
before
been exposed to. The extent (and to a lesser extent the
causes) of this population decline have long been the
subject of debate.
