When Europeans first came to North America, one of the most disastrous impacts on native populations was the introduction of "Old World diseases
" These diseases, such as smallpox, influenza, and plague, devastated the Native American population as the number of settlers grew steadily.

Based on this scenario and what you know about the immune system, what can you conclude about the Native American and European populations?
