Nov 24, 2016 at 4:20 | comment | added | jamesqf | @Mołot: Bad example because 1) It was the isolation that caused the immune system deficiencies; and 2) they didn't have the power to keep Europeans away. And you only need one person to come into contact with a sick European to bring the disease back home. | |
Nov 23, 2016 at 17:57 | comment | added | Mołot | @jamesqf why bad? If they would keep whites away, shoot them when they could and run in other times, and only expose small scouting partys, it could be less deadly. | |
Nov 23, 2016 at 17:52 | comment | added | jamesqf | The illness thing is a bad example. The Amerindians had been isolated from "others" - humans and most domestic animals - for 10K years or so, and so their immune systems hadn't evolved to handle challenges. The Europeans had been exposed to "other" - Indian, Chinese, African, &c - since Roman times at least, and so their immune systems evolved to deal with diseases. Of course that evolution was by plagues killing off large parts of the population... | |
