Video on Guns Germs And Steel

In this part of the video we watched and saw that the Middle East prospered through bad conditions and actually advanced as a society despite those horrendous conditions. An archaeological dig was found in Draugh where supposedly the first village in the Middle East was created where the first grannary was find(a place to store grains). People at this time started making their own food and the Middle Eastern people were the first farmers of the world, which were able to domesticate wild animals and plants. After the Middle East it was China-rice, Americas- corn squash, and  beans then in Africa- sorghu millet and yams.  Whereever there was farming it seemed like those nations would prosper, but that was not the case of Papua New Gunia which did not thrive like other nations. They did not thrive because the plants they had to farm were not nearly as well neutriotous as the other plants that other nations and areas were growing so they did not prosper. So basically you got lucky where you were born if you were born in a great wheat and barely nation then good for you, but New Gunia not so much.
