Continued Movie Watching

Today in class we continued to watch the movie about New Guinea. The portion of the movie we watched today was about how the people in the Middle East were able to grow grain, barely, and other things successfully while people in New Guinea can't grow those things. Also how Drah is the oldest surviving evidence of a non-hunter gather society. Diggers were able to discover a granery which would have been used to store the grain that the grew nearby for years. New Guinea grew sago trees which didn't have as much nutrients as wheat. Jared Diamond explains the inclined success of the Middle East and the neutral success of New Guinea as "geography luck".
