Today's Class

In today's class we finished up to part 6 today of the video of Guns, Germs. and Steel. It was very interesting watching the rest of this video because in this part Jared Diamond basically told us the whole point of the video up to this. The question that Wally had, "Why do your people have so much more cargo then my people?" The answer that he had was basically because you got geographically lucky on where you were born and where your ancestors were. There were some civilizations on which they do not have enough resources to go onto a more advanced way of living, or in a case such as the Americas where they got these resources imported in and had a good enough fertile soil to have these crops grown there.
