Continuation of video

We learned more and more in the video, for today's lesson we learned about how the people got lucky on where they were born and where they settled. We were informed by Jared Diamond that there were 148 plant eating animals that weighed over a 100 pounds in the world that could be domesticated, but there were only 14 that were domesticated successfully. There are many reasons why the others were not domesticated as in they didn't have something, ate too much, took too long to reproduce, and also they were too hard to contain. There was no animals of these 14 that could be found in North America and there was only one in South America. The other 13 domesticated animals was found in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. The reason why North America developed so much was because they got all their animals from when Europe brought them over. However, the first reason to this is that there were not enough crops to feed the animals and the people to have them domesticated so this never worked for Papua New Gunie. That was the main point behind Jared Diamonds theory that people were not as developed simply because of the area that they grew up in and it all depended upon geographical luck.
