Today, we had a little discussion about why--even though there are civilized places in Papua New Guinea--there are some people in the rainforest area and such that still are working hard to survive off of nature since Jared Diamond did not go over that with great detail, leaving us hanging. Honestly, I'm already getting tired of Guns, Germs and Steel since I have already watched the video and am doing so again every class since I came to school.
Here are some other notes from the video:
- Out of all of the large, domesticated animals
- None came from:
- Papua New Guinea,
- North America, or
- Sub-Saharan Africa.
- One came from:
- South America (the llama).
- And the remaining thirteen came from:
- Asia,
- Northern Africa, and
- Europe.
- (Cows, pigs, sheep, and goats came from the Middle East, which is now dubbed as the Fertile Crescent).
