[QUOTE]Originally posted by Clyde Winters: [QB] sidirom quote: __________________________________________________________________ E.g., why didn't they transmit Old World diseases to the New World the way Europeans and Africans apparently did in 1500? Epidemics devastated Native Americans from pole to pole, post- Columbus, arguing long isolation from Old World pathogens. If WA'ans had been mucking around in Olmec Country, would not that patch of Mesoamericans at least have experienced these diseases at that time? But in that case, (a) they would have been already present in Mexico by 1500 and (b) they would not have been as lethal as history records they were at that time. ____________________________________________________________________ Africans have rarely passed on diseases to other people. It was the Europeans who spread death to other people. Europeans even took the cold to the Eckimos. It was the European use of diseases that allowed the Spanish to conquer the Meso-American people who fell dead to diseases before they could even fight. [/QB][/QUOTE]
