Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Potatoes were indigenous to the Americas, specifically to the Andes region of South America. They were later introduced to Europe and became a staple crop there, but were not known in other parts of the world until after Columbus's voyages to the Americas. Horses, measles, and smallpox were not indigenous, as horses were originally domesticated in Eurasia, and measles and smallpox were brought over by Europeans and devastated many indigenous populations.
