Unknowable. However, modern scholarship suggests the number could be as high as 50 million. This includes Meso-America, with the huge metropolitan areas of the Valley of Mexico, where citiy-states of 250,000 were not uncommon. Without Meso-America, the population of North America could have been 25 million.

Why did many of native Americans die when the Europeans arrived?

The entire population of North American in 1600 is estimated at 1 million. So there were not millions dying. Initial contact with Europeans introduced a large number of diseases to the native population. The East Coast of the continent was devastated, and the Pilgrims arrived to find abandoned villages and a very low native population.


Why did disease kill off so many native Americans when the Spanish first arrived?

Disease, particularly smallpox, killed a significant number of Native Americans when the Spanish arrived because the Indigenous populations had no immunity to these new diseases. They had not been previously exposed to them, while Europeans had built up some level of resistance over centuries. This lack of immunity allowed diseases brought by the Spanish to spread rapidly and ravage Native American communities.


How many native Americans were here when settlers arrived?

At the time European settlers arrived in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, it is estimated that there were between 10 to 18 million Native Americans living in what is now the United States. This population was diverse, consisting of hundreds of distinct tribes and languages. However, the exact number is difficult to determine due to the lack of written records and the subsequent dramatic population decline caused by disease, warfare, and displacement following European colonization.
