Guns Germs and Steel Day 3
Today in class, we watched more of the video about Guns, Germs and Steel. Some of the notes I took are:
- in the Middle East, growing wild is wheat and barley
- Draa is believed to be the oldest community/ society ever
- a granary is where wheat/barley is dried out
- plant domestication is farming/ manipulating plants for food
Places that learned to farm early:
1. China - rice
2. the Americas - corn, squash, and beans
3. Africa - sorghum, millet, and yams
- civilization followed learning to farm
- New Guineans sometimes eat giant spiders to get protein
- people who had the most productive crops had the most productive farm
- geographic luck is being lucky enough to live somewhere with good crops
