Jared Diamond goes back in time and studies how people used to live. Hunter gatherers travel in packs and hunt for stuff to eat. Jared Diamond has the opportunity to see that with the New Guineans. New Guineans are very smart with their surroundings and our very strong. The movie than moves to the Middle East. Hunter gatherers roam around looking for stuff to eat and never bother to make a home. Eventually they stop acting like animals and realize they didnt have to keep moving and learned how to grow things. Granary is a place where you store your grown food. It saves it from insects, weather, wind etc. The granary was and oval shaped whole in the earth. It mostly stored wheat and barley. Stone age Middle East people were the first farmers. The people in China are also one of the first to start farming. They mainly grew rice. New Guinea was also one of the first farmers. However, farming wasn't as easy in New Guinea. The climate wasn't as good and their crops didn't have as much protein. Sometimes they would even have to eat giant spiders to supplement their diet. Farming is a big part of earth’s history. Some people just have more geographic luck. Some people were born in good farming climates, but others like the people in Papua, New Guinea.
