Germs, Guns and Steel....and LOCK DOWNNNN

Today in class, we went in to Lock down mode and have to shove ourselves into a corner and the police men went around the school to see if we all did the drill correctly. We did a pretty good job for our first lock down drill. After that all happened, we went back to watching Guns, Germs and Steel. This part of the movie was about domestication and geographical luck. What is meant but geographical luck is, people who are located in a place where crops grow naturally. The people in New Guinea and the Middle east had a steady source of wheat and barely. There is many animals that controlled the people's eating. The people in New Guinea got their milk from goats which was good protein. The also used the skin of the goat to make clothes. Another thing they use from goats is their poop for fertilizer for their crops. There are about 2 million animals that have been domesticated but you can eliminate insects, birds, fish, cats etc. One animal that the people in the Middle East did not want was a carnivore  All they do is east meat so, they would eat the other animals and the people would have to raise lots of other animals. But one animal they did want was a herbivore. That animal could eat the buds of the plants. Zebras are also not good for domestication because they are raised in Africa and they are trained that when they see a predator coming they kick there legs for protection. There are 148 animals that are useful in the middle east. Fourteen of the species are domesticated...goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, Bactrian camels, Arabian camel, water buffalo's  llamas, reindeer, yaks, mithans, and Bali cattle. In Asia, North Africa, and Europe most of the animals are native to the land. In South America, llamas are native to that land. And in the Middle East cows, sheeps, goats and horses are most useful there. People wonder why they still live like they did 10,000 years ago, but they don't have to worry about money, bills and they don't have to stress over anything.
