Sometimes history is really painful.

I think its odd that there weren't any disease the native americans carried that devastated europeans. The only bad one I can think of is Syphilis, but it wasn't apocalypse tier like Smallpox was
What airborne infectious diseases did the Natives carry, if any?
>>2580322
Plagues like what devastated the new world came about from domesticated animals and big cities being a factor in that development (lots of people and animals together).
I know that after the Spaniards came, a plague native to Mexico developed that both Natives and Whites were both equally susceptible to. If this had spread to Europe it could have drastically changed everything.

All humans get pubic hair, retard. They aren't prepubescent either. It's called shaving and plucking hair. Surely you aren't so fucking retarded as to think the modern era is the only time people decided to get rid of pubes or other body hair.

It is also that the Old World was much larger (exposure to genes/bacteria from a wider range) and that the native population of the New World was not very genetically diverse -- they weren't "inbred" at all, they just all descended from a relatively small population. All of that contributed to a lower resistance to diseases.

Not that strain (at least that's the current thinking). Syphilis itself was probably present in the Old World -- I think there's some evidence of it in ancient Egyptian burials -- but nothing like so prevalent as it would become after contact.

Xingu. There are some historical things of interest in this region in recent archeology.
>>2581202
Well the Xingu mainly consume vegetables, fruits and fishmeat. They don't eat other animal meat I think for religious reasons.
