They don’t have many animals they use but they use pigs.  Farm work is done by hand.  A lot of animals could be used but they can be carnivores because then you would have to feed them meat which would be more work.  Zebra have anger issues.  The 14 animals over 100 hundred pounds and can be domesticated  are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, bariatric camels, Arabian camels, water buffalos, reign deer, yak, methane, and valley cattle are from the middle east and Europe and llamas is the only for from a different country South America.

Great cultivations have advanced technology, large populations, and well organized work force.  Sago is a tree that has stinks inside the bark to make dough.  The sago tree has a lot of carbs and calories but it doesn't have good nutrition.  Cereal has wheat, barley, rice , and oats.  Drah is a place that has the earliest villages and had the first granary.  New Guinea had bad geographical lucky!!!!

Jared Diamond / Guns, Germs,and Steel

       Jared Diamond is a professor at UCLA is Los Angeles.  He was born in Boston September 10, 1937.  He went to graduate from Harvard in 1958 with his Bachelors of Arts.  He graduated for Cambridge University in 1961 with a PhD.  He became Professor Of Physiology at UCLA Medical School in 1968.  He developed another career in ornithology and ecology in his twenties.  He developed a third career in environmental history and became Professor of Geography at UCLA (That is what he is doing now) in his fifties.  He was awarded the National Medal of Science and an honorary doctorate by Westfield State University.  He is married now to Marie Diamond and has twin sons that were born in 1987.

    Jared Diamond wrote Guns, Germs, and Steel in 1997.  This book is a mutli-million selling book.  It talks about how human history has changed over 10,000 years. The movie starts off with him talking to his friend Yali. The book shows how some civilizations have developed over thousands of years ( U.S.A ) and how some have devolved ( New guinea )  Diamonds theory is very strange but, I support it but, many people don’t.  Diamond mapped out migration of early humans from Africa to Eurasia and from the North and South Americans.
