n culture was able to conquer and to dominate the rest of the world because its geographical and ecological advantages meant more and better food. This led to the development of dense populations earlier than in other locations. Dense populations were necessary to produce complex levels of technology and political organization. Over millennia, the Eurasians developed lethal communicable diseases as well as partial immunity to these diseases. When Eurasians went to other parts of the world, they brought all these advantages with them. When small pox, measles, typhus, etc., were introduced to people without immunity, populations were decimated and social structures weakened, often many years before these people had any actual face to face interactions with the Eurasians. When those interactions did take place, the superiority of technology and organization used by the Eurasians finished the job of conquest.
