Guns, Germs, and Steel
1/23/19
Today in class we watched a video called Guns, Germs, and Steel. Jared Diamond is the hero of the story. This takes place in Papua New Guinea. Jared Diamond is an author, professor at UCLA, and he is a biologist. He has a passion of studying birds. In New Guinea, people have lived there for 40,000 years. One man he met 30 years ago was named Yali. Yali said, "Why you white men have so much cargo, and we New Guineans have so little". The New Guineans didn't know what Jared had brought when he traveled because they have never seen steel or something like binoculars. Many of the colonials came from different parts of the world. Some of the civilizations are architecture, government, advanced technology, large population, and well-organized work tasks. Close too 13,000 years ago, everyone was either a hunter or a gatherer. People are still living like they did thousands of years ago. One main food the gatherers would eat was sago, which is stapled food and it is a part of the their diet. The Middle-East grew barley and wheat and stored in in something called a granary. People started to grow their own food. Lastly, draa's were very popular and they were the earliest known civilization and permanent villages.
