Inca Mummies Prove Europeans Brought Smallpox to the Americas
A groundbreaking scientific discovery has provided the first molecular evidence that European colonizers brought devastating smallpox to the Americas. Ancient DNA recovered from two 500-year-old Chilean mummies has yielded the oldest known smallpox genomes in the New World, confirming historical accounts of the catastrophic disease that decimated Indigenous populations following European contact.
The recent study, published in the journal Science, analyzed the remains of an adult female and a young adult male from the Camarones 9 archaeological site in northern Chile. These individuals, culturally affiliated with the Inca Empire, lived between 1492 and 1631. The discovery of the variola virus (the pathogen responsible for smallpox) in their bones came as a complete surprise to the research team, who were originally studying human population history in the region.
