Second day of western civ
Today in the second class of western civ we watched a video called Guns, Germs, and Steel. The video was about Jared Diamond who visited Papua New Guinea and got to know the people who live there. Jared Diamond is a professor, author and a biologist. In Papua New Guinea, people have been living there for 40 yeas and live the same way. In the movie they told us that all civilizations have advanced technology, large population, and well organized work forces in common. Everyone was hunters and gatherers. Wild sago is a big part of the Guinean's food and diet but it is low on protein and can't be store for very long. Two big grains they grew were barely and wheat. Draa is an early villages in the world. One interesting thing that I learned during the video was that a granary is where the grains like wheat and barely are stored. It is shaped like an oval and is made of mud. This is what we did in class.
