This book examines the relationship between the indigenous peoples
of northern Ecuador and disease, especially those infections
introduced by Europeans during the sixteenth century. It addresses
an important and often overlooked element in the history of
Amerindian populations: their biological adaptability and
resilience. But it is more than a history of disease incidents,
medical responses, and population trends. The history of the
biological experience under colonial rule. It differs from other
studies in the field by its emphasis on the relationship between
biological and social responses.
