the movie is almost done


Today in Western Civ, we watched more of the documentary. It’s pretty fun to watch because of how different people were back then, and how they survived. We talked about the animals, the food, and just how their lifestyle was. The documentary talked a lot about GEOGRAPHIC LUCK. Having barley and wheat are much better to have because you can store it and have a lot. The 1st settlement that people discovered was “Draa”. It was considered the birth of civilization. They had a little bit of technological advances like the Granary which they stored food in. Domestication is getting particular traits than other living things. This was useful for animals and plants. Rice emerged from China, corn, squash, and beans were from AMerica, and Sorghum, millet, and yams came from Africa. In Papua New Guinea, the best muscle is human muscle power. An animal that gives birth is more beneficial than one that gives birth at 15. When controlling the alpha of a pack, you can control the whole entire pack. the 14 successfully domesticated animals are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, bactrian camels, arabian camels, water buffalo, llamas, reindeer, yack, mithans, and bali cattle. Llamas came from South America and the rest came from North Africa, Europe, and Asia.
