More Papua New Guinea


Today in Human Geo we continued to watch the movie Guns, Germs, and Steel. The part we watched today was mainly about food. They collected their food by either hunting or gathering. One food the women gathered is called a sago tree. They would peel away the bark then chop the inside up. Through the process of however they do it the make it in a dough. I didn’t look very tasty. The dough is also not very nutritious but it still fills them up. They would also gather wheat by hand and use it in just about everything. Wheat is nutritious and a good source of food because they have a lot of it. They would also hunt whatever animals they could but this is much hard and takes some time. Also they food they might get from one hunt might not be enough to feed everybody but at least they get some protein.
