This book examines the relationship between indigenous populations
in the north-central highlands of Ecuador and disease, especially
those infections introduced by Europeans during the sixteenth
century. Disease, of course, existed in the Americas long before
1500. But just as native societies resisted and eventually adapted
to European conquest, so too did they adapt to Old World pathogens.
Just as the responses of Indian communities to the economic and
political demands of Spaniards varied over time, so too did the
immunological responses of indigenous populations change over
generations. What began in the sixteenth century as contact and
invasion soon would involve both Indians and Europeans in a new
history of biological, as well as social, adaptation.
