Hi, you may be interested in a few earlier comments (I'm sure there are several more, but I'm not finding them)
Contact with European diseases caused great devastation in Native American populations. Did the Africans also experience wide-spread disease due to European contact?
Which, if any, diseases slowed or prevented European colonization?
How come we only hear about indigenous tribes getting diseases from colonists, explorers, invaders, etc but not the other way around?
