Today

Today in class we started to watch a movie on guns germs and steel. It taught me a lot of new information about the people who live in New Guinea. They do not have any tools and there fore are forced to rely on the materials they can find in the habitat surrounding them. The built houses that sit higher off the ground, and my guess for this is because they don't want natural predators and animals to be able to reach them. Also, they run on a hunting and gathering type of society where they have to go out and shoot their dinner for each night. A while ago people from the Americas landed a plane in New Guinea and they showed them a record player. This symbolized money back then so owning one was a huge advancement. This movie shows that some civilizations were able to advance quicker then others.
