"Estimates of the pre-Columbian population vary, from a minimum of 50 million to a maximum of 100 million"
Conservative estimates are of 12 million minimum. That's still a lot more than the holocaust.
"Estimates of how many people were living in the Americas when Columbus arrived have varied tremendously; 20th century estimates ranging from a low of 8.4 million to a high of 112.5 million persons. Given the fragmentary nature of the evidence, even semi-accurate pre-Columbian population figures are impossible to obtain, and estimates are produced by large extrapolations from small bits of data.
