The first February blog!

Today in class we continued watching "Guns, Germs, and Steel".

THE NOTES

• Barley and wheat were grown in the Middle East, making it easier to farm 
• Draa is the oldest settlement ever found. It contained the worlds first granary
• Plant cultivation--> Domestication. Farmers in the Fertile Crescent were the first to domesticate plants for their need
• Other places that were farming were China (rice) the Americas (corn, beans) and Africa, around Egypt (Sorghum, yams, millet)
• Geographic luck played a big part in New Guineas' lack of  civilization. Without things to farm that they could store, no other jobs were available.
• Animal domestication also was happening where plant domestication was occuring
• There is 14 animals 100+ pounds that have been domesticated

1. Goats
2. Sheep
3. Pigs
4. Cows
5. Horses
6. Donkey
7. Bactreian Camels (not sure if thats the actual type of camel)
