AHC: American Old World

Sex and whoring will do. (A sentence I didn't think I was going to write, btw.) I believe there are military forces in Africa that are 90 % HIV positive.

It won't wipe out people in the old world, but I'm seeing a long suppression period without modern medicine.

Interesting, it will surely prevent surpopulation in medieval Europe and maybe wipe out great minds. Cities will be way less populated and the population more spread. The already short life spawn will be more dimnish so people will make more child to compensate. But maybe, after some generation, more people will be immune (some people already are OTL) ! Man, so much butterfly !
 
I'd think the only way to reverse the development of the old/new worlds would be to reverse the plants and animals domesticated in each... get rid of wheat/barley/oats/etc, make cows/sheep/pigs/horses unable to be domesticated in the old world, give the new world counterparts to all of those things, and get humans to the new world a lot earlier. That would do it. Of course, the ecological/climate butterflies needed to do all of that would be immense.
