Today in class we continued watching GGS

Today in class we continued watching Guns Germs and Steel. On it today Jared Diamond went back into ancient civilizations to answer the question he was asked. He discussed how the New Guineans weren't dumber than everyone else. They were very smart and they don't have a lot of very farm able food to live with and they have to live a very old life style. He also found out that after the first ice age, the middle east was a very habitable place. He also figured out that middle eastern people had first figured out that  they could farm food. One more thing that Diamond found out was that  the countries that found out they could farm on there own were the countries that became great super powers in the modern world and over time.
