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?
