back to school again!

Today we were back in school. I didn't want to wake up but i had to anyway. Today in Mr. Schick’s class we continued to watch the movie guns, germs, and steel by Jared diamond. Were we got to today the movie told us that the Middle Eastern countries had the best plants to grow and survive and most of the animals that can be domesticated. In Papua New Guinea though there are no such plants that provide as much nutrition as wheat or barley. The only animals that they can domesticate are pigs and they were brought over from Asia. They have no animals that can pull plows or use them for milk, they only have human power. That’s why Jared diamond says that the Middle East has the best chance to thrive in the early time and they did while the new Guineans were stuck back and did not advance
