Abstract

My focus in this chapter is upon the impact that European contact has had upon non-Europeans. The topic is vast since indigenous populations, by which I mean the native peoples of non-European lands, are enormously diverse - a diversity that is matched by their disease experience. I shall proceed by examining the sources of diversity, on a series of progressively finer levels of analysis.
