Question

11 multiple choice 1 point what was a disadvantage of the colombian exchange for native americans? cows, pigs, and chickens were unfamiliar and didnt domesticate easily native americans didnt have natural immunities to european diseases like smallpox the europeans were lactose intolerant, so they refused to trade with native americans the new food was high in calories, which led to obesity

Explanation:

The Colombian Exchange brought devastating European diseases to Native American populations, who had no prior exposure or natural immunities to illnesses like smallpox. This led to massive population decline, a major disadvantage. The other options are incorrect: domesticated animals from the Exchange were often adopted successfully, Europeans were not broadly lactose intolerant and did trade with Native Americans, and high-calorie foods did not cause widespread obesity as a direct disadvantage.

Answer:

Native Americans didn't have natural immunities to European diseases like Smallpox
