I mean, European countries’ history is rich of thousands of years, whereas first European footsteps in America are 5 centuries old (I know there were natives before all that, but were they that many?).

In theory, if the colonizers hadn’t arrived, the indigenous population could have reached the same numbers today. So, it has nothing to do with colonizers being outnumbered by the colonized. Just bigger country side in warm lands = more people.
Glad you said in warm lands. True that Canada and Russia didn’t reach the same amount of people even with their bigger size
Plus there were a lot of people on this side of the world, but they were decimated by diseases brought in from Europe.
