When they came to the western hemisphere they brought guns germs and steel. His quest began in Papua New Guinea located in the pacific away from all the trade routes and everything else. Jared's passion is studying birds and he says he loves studying birds in Papua New Guinea and he first went there when he was twenty. People have lived in Papua New Guinea for more than forty thousand years. A guy asked him thirty years ago on the beach, "Why do you white men have so much cargo and we have so little?", and it made Jared think why is that because he thought the question would be so simple to answer. He wants to figure out why these people aren't building intricate cities because they are smart people.  He says that we can't survive if we were put in a woods and was told to survive.
