Question

8 – “When European settlers arrived in the Americas, historians estimate there were over 10 million Native Americans living there. By 1900, their estimated population was under 300,000. Native Americans were subjected to many different forms of violence, all with the intention of destroying the community. In the late 1800s, blankets from smallpox patients were distributed to Native Americans in order to spread disease. There were several wars, and violence was encouraged; for example, European settlers were paid for each Penobscot person they killed.” (extracted from here). Based on the text above and evolutionary thinking, answer the questions below: a) Name the evolutionary process associated with the genocide of Native American People and describe the expected long-lasting consequences for their gene pool. (2pts) b) Design a study to look for genetic evidence of genocide in Native American populations. (2 pts)
