Today in
class, we continued to take notes on guns, germs, and steel. Below are the
notes from today's video.
- Advanced
technology, large populations, and a well-organized work force are things
that all great civilizations have in common.
- Prehistory-
before events were written down (13,000 years ago- hunters/gatherers.
- Hunters/gatherers
live in the New Guinea (not many).
- You
have to be pretty smart to be a hunter.
- Wild
sago is what the natives ate when there was no luck hunting; the women
chopped down trees into food.
- Sago is
not very nutritious nor healthy.
- Sago
can't be stored (won't last very long).
- Draa is
one of the oldest places in the world.
- They
found a small village in Draa that's very ancient and old.
- There
were about 40-50 people which is a very large population at the time.
- 11,500
years ago, was when the village was there.
- Granary
is where you would store the grain.
- Wheat
and barley are healthier than sago and more nutritious.
- Plant
domestication roughly equals farming.
