Germs Guns and Steel Video 2/3/14

Today in class Veronica brought in donuts(: Everyone got four but I'm pretty sure Karson and I  had like eight. After donuts me continued watching Germs, Guns, and Steel. I think we are almost finished the video but it will take at least another class to finish.

These are the notes from the video so far:
-Sageo-found in sageo trees, can make into dough, doesn't last long, can't store, not nutritious
-People from Papa New Guinea have many talents that we don't have and vice versa.
-Barley&Wheat much better to plant and eat, gives nutrition.
-Draa - oldest settlement that people ever found.
-It had the world first grainary, which was a place to store grain.
-China- grew rice
-Americas- corn, squash, and beans
-Africa- sorghun and yams
- Biggest difference in farming inequality is GEOGRAPHIC LUCK
-Animal Domestication- controlling food and breeding.
