February 2, 2011

Today in our Western Civilization class, we reviewed what we went over on Monday, before our snow day off.  Shortly after, we continued on watching Guns, Germs and Steel.  A large step into civilization in the Middle East was the domestication of nature.  Humans started to control the animals breeding and eating.  There are no native animals in Papua New Guinea, so there was no way of using a plow.  The only type of power in the area is with humans.  Papua New Guinea has the issue of the lack of food/nutrition, so it would be even more difficult to feed your animals as well as the “community.”

1.            Pigs
2.            Goats
3.            Sheep
4.            Horses
5.            Camels

8.            Donkeys
9.            Llamas
10.          Reindeer
