GG&S - Notes Day 2

Today in class we got assigned seats and continued watching Gums, Germs, & Steel. Tonight we have to write another paragraph on what we saw in class. These are some of my notes:

• Diamond had to turn the clock before civilization to answer the mans question
• People in the Middle East were always on the move, they were building shelters everywhere they went, then they would move on looking for food 
• Diamond observed how they would hunt to find food, hunt animals
• Hunting Gathering - always on the move, following animals
• Gathering is usually done by women and is another way of hunting
• Sheo trees, an important food, have nutritions and foods like berries and bark of trees
• Sheo trees takes a lot of labor and work to produce and they don't last long, take store
• They don't have alot of protein and fiber that are important for you, isn't nutrition
• Grains were not available to that area, unlike the Middle East
• Braldley and wheat were grasses that have a huge impact on civilization 
• Then ice age years returned, many trees and plants died
• So someone said that there has to be another way to hunt food, like grow foods
• But then they need some thing to keep grain, their food they grew, to protect it from animals in a grainery
• People were forced to move farther and find food, and they would survive
• Ian K. (person)- studies the Middle East stone age years, he works with a team of articigists
• They discovered a village from 11.5 thousand years ago, Draa', worlds first village 
• They discovered a holes of tall stones were they could store grain from insects 
• So everyone was living and working together in a village instead of moving all the time
• They could not only bring food back, harvested but as seeds
• These farmers were changes the nature around them
• Domestication - a process in which farmers ...
• After the Middle East came China
• China had rice, squash, and beans
• New Guinea is the most densely population city on the island, they used tecquices used in the Middle East
• There foods are low in protein and must be eaten quickly or they could root, unlike our foods
• New Guineans lack protein so they would eat giant spiders 
• Could plants have the course to change human livings or was there something else? 
• They were surrounded by domesticated wheat and braley  
• The only way they could live on this scale is to become more productive farmers
