More of the Video: Guns, Germs, and Steal
Today in class we watched more of the movie Guns, Germs, and Steal. Today we watched these people discover an ancient village. They have been digging for years in the Middle East at a place called Drah or Draa. They found what could have been a granary. A granary is a place to store grain. In the granary, nothing would have been able to get to the grain to damage it or make it not good. The stone age people then started to become farmers. they changed the way people lived. They started growing thing by their homes. They were able to grow more than they needed so they could save it in the granary. There are three things that a civilization needs to advance. These things include: a large population, technological advancement, and a division of labor meaning that they work would split the work so other people could do others things instead of all the people hunting. Not long after the middle east was formed China was formed. China was able to grow rice. Not long after China, the Americas were formed and they could make corn, squash, and beans. Then came Africa and they could make sorghum, millit, adn yams. The stone aged people changed the way people would live forever.
