This is actually the interesting answer to a question I heard posed a while back. Diseases killed out over 90% of Americas indian popluations whereas europe’s black death only killed 30-50% of europe’s popluation. Why the difference? the reason is that this was the black death’s second appearance in europe —so the europeans had developed some immunity. the americas indians had no immunity at all.
