Western civer 1/23/13

Today in western civs we took notes on a power point that mr. shcick im guesing put togather. some of the things i wrote down was that there were people on all the continets as far back as 14,000 years ago.we also went over the papers that we were supose to right over the weekend. there where some of us that didnt like what jared diamond had to say.and there where some that did. but theres always a split in the group.

Was Jared Diamond on track with his theory of "geographic luck"?

Jared diamond. was he on track with this whole luck theory that he came up with. personaly i think he was just kind of making an assumption. because even if you didnt have the crops that you wanted you could still get them. it wasent has esay as it is today but it is still possible. if you were able to get wheat and barley and bring it back to your home land there is no reason that you couldent get it to grow. if you have sun in water just about anything will grow. and the only reason that i can see for paupa new guni being so far behind from the rest of the world is because there people dont really seem to care. you would think that if they cared enough they would stop living in the woods and hop on there boats and what and go make contact with the rest of and the world and let people know that they still are on this planet. But they waited almost 4000 years before they were able to even get shovels. like really a shovel. they also could have tried to put things togather with the australian goverment to help them start a plan to come up in the world and get out the prehistoric time that they are still in. So in my onion Jared Diamond is way off track.
