How did the discovery of the New World influence population growth in Europe and Asia and Africa?
CaseyRobustellini
At first it didn't. Spanish colonies tended to be men seeking advancement and the women stayed behind, and so they didn't have families in Europe for the most part. The lucky few who struck it rich and went home did of course. The big event in Spain in 1492 was the final defeat of the caliphate of Cordoba, and the end of a generation of war. This would be a better explanation for subsequent population increases than the early colonial efforts in the new world. At the time several plagues were believed to have been brought back from the new world, including syphilis. Much later the population was limited by periodic famine (starvation events) and adoption of the potato as a staple crop increased the available food supply, and the population. The potato was not widely cultivated in Europe until the 1700s.

What was not a major cause of European imperialism in the 1800s - Limiting American influence in Africa Expanding the European slave trade Population overcrowding in Europe?
Of those three options, "Limiting American influence in Africa" is the least connected with European Imperialism, but it is worth noting that the others are also minimally connected . The US did not have any serious influence in Africa prior to the mid-1800s and was not attempting to strengthen connections between the US and Africa (especially after the US banned the slave trade in 1807). As a result, the Europeans were not worried about American influence in Africa to the extent that they would want to limit it."Population Overcrowding in Europe" led to an increased desire to settle other places, but it did not lead to imperialism per se. "Expanding the European slave trade" is also not really a reason for European Imperialism since, by the mid-1800s, most European countries had banned slavery, but as late as the early 1800s, a number of European countries were still trying to expand their African slavery networks.
Why do scientists think mankind came from Africa- A 47 million year old fossil from Germany says otherwise- Did we all come from Europe?

How did Africa's gold trade influence Africa?
In ancient Africa, the Africans kept their gold mines secret and they used silent barter in order to not reveal the locations of the mines. The gold was traded with other countries such as Europe and Asia. It influenced the population because more people came to Africa, mostly from Islam. The Muslims then spread their Islamic ways in Africa.
