Smallpox I get, as a reason for population collapse, but I thought syphilis was native to the Americas.

"This genetic result seems consistent with the wealth of hard evidence provided by other fields for debunking the collapse theory," I've always wondered about that theory, even as a child. It was obvious they didn't have sufficient evidence. It just didn't make sense to me that, if there were adverse environmental consequences to "overuse," then the population wouldn't just drop to a sustainable level and stabilize. It only takes about 25-50 people in a tribe to preclude inbreeding.

"This distribution is consistent with a contact occurring between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries," he said. The researchers were not able to determine where this contact occurred, however."I would venture to guess: Between their belly-buttons and their knees.
