Guns Germs and Steel Continued

Today in honors human geo we continued to watch the video Guns Germs and Steel.  In this portion of the video, the writer went into further detail about the people that are still hunter-gatherers in Papua New Guinea.  This lifestyle is very difficult because there is no time to do anything other than hunt and search for food.  this means instead of having time to advance in civilization the people must spend all of their time looking for food to be able to survive another day.  Not only that, but the people must consume as much of the food that they harvest as they can because there is no way for them to store it. Then after this point in the video, it went into detail about an 11,500-year-old village that began to meet the requirements for civilization. It had a larger population, and they began to farm, and store grain.  They also began to domesticate plants by picking the biggest and best plants.
