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

Syphilis is native to the Americas. Last I read, the evidence was overwhelming. One suspected pre-Columbian case in Europe turned out to be a completely different European disease.

It is. There’s continual arguments — data-based on one side and political correctness on the other — but it is ‘native american’. There’s a topic about this in the FRchives.

I don’t see anything in this article about syphilis? It says, “The study did not find any evidence of a dramatic population decline...” ?
