[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] TP#IG, I don't have Dubois's "The World and Africa" with me right now but in that text--if memory serves, he states that from point of captivity--wars, kidnappings, raids, etc--to point of arrival, i.e. after the ships docked in the Americas [b] the survival rate was only approximately 15-20%[/b]. So if 100 million were initially captives over the 300 years of the trade and only 15-20% survived to touch ground in the Americas then the final figure approximately 15 million does make sense. The marches to the coast plus the deaths on board ship did significantly reduce initial numbers. One should also not that the simple arithmetic of the doubling of some number(called the rule of 72) is based on 72 divided by the initial net percentage growth rate. Example: how long will it take for 100 to double at an initial 10% growth rate. Answer: Just divide 100 by 10 to get 10 years. [/QB][/QUOTE]
