Today in Western Civilization we started off the class by reviewing for our test we are about to have that covers Papua New Guinea (Civilized and Non-Civilized) as well as Guns, Germs and Steel. Also, we discussed the importance of domesticated animals. A social hierarchy is important in a “pack” of the group. If you can tame the animal at the top of the hierarchy, you’ve got them all. Also, we talked about Jarod Diamond’s relation to this trip/documentary. Wrapping things up, we basically talked about Papua New Guinea’s Transformation towards the 21’st century.
