Answer:

According to researches, the Native population in Americas before the arrival of Europeans was around 100 million people, while some are estimating that it was even more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Before Europeans arrived in America, many native culture were developing and some were even at their peak.

But when the conquistadores came, they killed a lot of them, while a lot of them died due to diseases that were brought by Europeans.

The population in just a couple of decades fell from 100 millions to just a couple of millions.
