“The Columbian connection had a devastating effect on the
indigenous human societies of the Americas. . . . New disease
vectors suddenly introduced into the vulnerable populations of
the New World began a sequence of horrific pandemics. Rapidly
spreading infectious disease devastated indigenous peoples of the
New World. It thinned their numbers, destroyed their institutions,
and broke their resistance to Spanish aggression. . . . Demographic
recovery after major pandemics was hindered by reduced fertility,
stillbirths, and other physical effects, as well as by cultural
depression, hopelessness, and malaise resulting from Spanish
colonial domination.”
-John R. Richards, The Unending Frontier, 2006.

“The New World provided soils that were very suitable for the
cultivation of a variety of Old World products, . . . The increased
supply lowered the prices of these products significantly, making
them affordable to the general population for the first time in
history. The production of these products also resulted in large
inflows of profits back to Europe, which some have argued fueled
the Industrial Revolution and the rise of Europe. The Old World
gained access to new crops that were widely adopted. . . . The
improvement in agricultural productivity . . . had significant
effects on historic population growth and urbanization.”
-Nathan Nunn and Nancy Qian, “The Columbian Exchange,” 2010.

africa, the second-largest continent, is bounded by the mediterranean sea, the red sea, the indian ocean, and the atlantic ocean. it is divided in half almost equally by the equator. the continent includes the islands of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.

africa’s physical geography, environment and resources, and human geography can be considered separately.

the origin of the name “africa” is greatly disputed by scholars. most believe it stems from words used by the phoenicians, greeks, and romans. important words include the egyptian word afru-ika, meaning “motherland”; the greek word aphrike, meaning “without cold”; and the latin word aprica, meaning “sunny.”

today, africa is home to more countries than any other continent in the world. these countries are: morocco, western sahara (morocco), algeria, tunisia, libya, egypt, sudan, chad, niger, mali, mauritania, senegal, the gambia, guinea-bissau, guinea, sierra leone, liberia, côte d’ivoire, ghana, burkina faso, togo, benin, nigeria, cameroon, central africa republic, equatorial guinea, gabon, congo, democratic republic of the congo, angola, namibia, botswana, south africa, lesotho, swaziland, mozambique, zimbabwe, zambia, malawi, tanzania, rwanda, burundi, uganda, kenya, somalia, ethiopia, djibouti, eritrea and the island countries of cape verde, madagascar, mauritius, seychelles, and comoros.
