In this video Heimler explains the environmental consequences of trade in the period 1200-1450. When merchants travelled the Silk Roads, the Indian Ocean Routes, or the Trans-Saharan routes, arguably the most important items they carried were cultural and environmental.

Merchants carried champ rice from the Champa Kingdom into China and changed the course of history for the Chinese. Indonesian merchants carried bananas into Africa and sparked large scale migrations of the Bantu people.

But merchants also carried disease: most notably, the Black Death. As it spread along trade routes, the Black Death (bubonic plague) eliminated huge swaths of the world’s population, especially in Europe.
