History of the olumbian Exchange The olumbian Exchange greatly affected almost every society on Earth. New diseases introduced by Europeans devastated the populations of many American cultures because the indigenous peoples had no immunity. Data for the pre olumbian population in the Americas is uncertain, but some estimates suggest 50 to 90 percent of native populations were lost due to disease. The contact between the two areas circulated a wide variety of new crops and livestock which supported future population increases in both hemispheres. Explorers returned to Europe with maize, potatoes, and tomatoes, which became very important crops in Eurasia by the 18th century. Similarly, Europeans introduced manioc and the peanut to tropical Southeast Asia and West Africa, where they flourished and supported growth in populations on soils that otherwise would not produce large yields.
