It is estimated, based on archaeological data and written records from European settlers that from 8 to 140 million indigenous people lived in the Americas when the 1492 voyage of Christopher Columbus began a historical period of large-scale European interaction with the Americas.

While the population of Old World peoples in the Americas steadily grew in the centuries after Columbus, the population of the American indigenous peoples plummeted most probably due to their susceptibility to old world diseases they had never before been exposed to. The extent (and to a lesser extent the causes) of this population decline have long been the subject of debate.
