Angka populasi orang asli di benua Amerika sebelum pelayaran Sepanyol 1492 oleh Christopher Columbus terbukti sukar untuk dipastikan. Para cendekiawan bergantung kepada data arkeologi dan rekod bertulis daripada peneroka Eropah. Kebanyakan cendekiawan menulis pada hujung abad ke-19 menganggarkan bahawa populasi pra-Columbus merupakan serendah 10 juta orang; menjeland akhir abad ke-20 kebanyakan cendekiawan bertumpu kepada anggara tengah sekitar 50 juta orang, dengan beberapa sejarawan berhujah anggaran 100 juta orang atau lebih.^[1] Hubungan dengan orang Eropah menyebabkan penjajahan Eropah di Amerika, di mana berjuta-juta pendatang dari Eropah eventually settled di kedua-dua benua Amerika.

Populasi orang Afrika dan Eurasia di benua Amerika semakin berkembang, manakala populasi orang asli merosot. Penyakit Eurasia seperti influenza, wabak pneumonia, dan cacar membinasakan Orang Asli Amerika, yang tidak mempunyai keimunan pada mereka. Konflik dan perang nyata dengan pendatang baru Eropah Barat dan suku Amerika yang lain mengurangkan populasi dengan lebih lanjut dan mengganggu masyarakat tradisional. Takat dan punca penurunan telah lama menjadi perkara bahas akademik, bersama dengan ciri-cirinya sebagai suatu pembasmian kaum.^[2]
