Papua New Guinea


Today in class we watched the movie Guns, Germs, and Steel. It is based on the book that Jared diamond wrote. It tries to explain why some populations of people have thrived and concurred others. He starts his adventure in Papua New Guinea.  They still live how they would hundreds if not thousands of years ago. They still make tools out of stone such as axes and have to find their food by hunting or gathering.  We talked about how some animals were able to be domesticated for some kind of use. They did not domesticate carnivores because then they would have to find food for them too. Some animals that can be domesticated are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, Bactria camels, Arabian camels, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, and yak.
