n200080 [17]

From the new world to Europe, after the discovery of Christopher Columbus what was done was the widespread transfer of plants, animals, culture, human populations, technology and ideas between the Americas, West Africa and the Old World in the 15th and 16th centuries.

The crops were: potatoes, corn, tomatoes and tobacco mainly.

The cattle: the exchange of animals, from Europe to the New World were many among them: Horses, donkeys, mules, pigs, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, large dogs, cats and bees.

Cultural Exchanges: In them, what stood out most was a culture that transferred European values to indigenous cultures. For example, the emergence of private property in regions where there was little or no right to land, the concepts of monogamy and the nuclear family, the role of women and children in the family system and the "superiority of free work".

The populations: The transatlantic slave trade stood out, it was the transfer of Africans mainly from West Africa, to parts of the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries.
