The Columbian Exchange: Biological Transfer
The Columbian Exchange: Biological Transfer is a skill on Pengi from Lesson 3: The Columbian Exchange in Pengi Social Studies (Grade 7).
Key Concepts
The contact between the Old World (Europe/Africa/Asia) and the New World (Americas) triggered the Columbian Exchange —the global transfer of foods, plants, and animals. The Americas gave the world Corn and Potatoes , nutrient rich crops that boosted populations in Europe and China.
In return, Europeans brought Horses , cattle, and pigs to the Americas, transforming Native American lifestyles. However, they also brought invisible killers: diseases like Smallpox and measles. Native Americans had no natural immunity, and millions died (up to 90% of the population in some areas), causing the collapse of civilizations like the Aztec and Inca.
