Guns, Germs and Steel

Today we watched most of this video called Guns, Germs and Steel. It was about a guy named Jared Diamond who was a Biologists, author, professor at UCLA and who study's birds. Diamond was in Papua New Guinea and was in a boat with the locals looking for birds. He said that people have been living there for 40,000 years longer than the US. But they still live the same way 40,000 years ago with less cargo. All civilizations there were great like the Greeks and Romans have something in common which is they had advanced technology, large populations and well organized work force. In the middle east 13,000 years ago everybody lived as a hunter and gatherer which means they are only focused on getting food. These people will live in a place were animals are for weeks and even months and then move with the animals. One of the first civilizations was Draa and archaeologists believe they had a granary which they stored mostly parsley and wheat.
