Today in human geo we watched the video in guns, germs and steel. Three ways that main civilizations stayed alive and running. Some of the big dynasties are the Greeks, Egyptians, Mayans ans Romans. They were not the typical hunters and gatherers. They went outside the box and made revolutionary weapons and spread unknown diseases to the other intruding groups. The man who wrote the book is the guy that I talked about last time, Jared Diamond. He went to Papua New Guinea. That is one of the only places that there are still hunters and gatherers. They said that we have so much stuff or cargo as they like to say. In a clip in the movie, a group of people from the 20's came and they showed there stuff to the guineans. They were a bit of a showoff and the Guineans took that as if they are much better than them. They are very smart though. They were able to build a fort in a very small amount of time.
You're welcome.
