Tomorrow we have a test on Urban Geography and also on the
video Guns, Germs, and Steel. We finished watching the video today in class and
we also reviewed a little. The last part of the video was just about the 14
animals that we learned about yesterday. 13 of them are from Asia, Europe, and
North Africa. None of these animals are from Popua New Guinea. We also learned
that cows, pigs, sheep, and goats were native to the Middle East and that’s why
it was such a thriving place in early civilization. So basically any location
that shares the same latitude will have the same climate, length of day, and
even weather conditions. Jared Diamond finally found an answer to the guy who
asked him why white people have more cargo than them. He said that it is all because
of geography. Where you live determines the ability you have to thrive.
