Guns, Germs, and Steel

Yesterday in class, we watched a documentary type video about how guns, germs, and steel have created modern civilization. It's a history video about this guy named Jared Diamond and he goes to this place somewhere near Australia called Paupa New Guinea. It is a place where many people live and survive. I say this because they live a hunter-gather lifestyle even in this century. They have just been used to living this since the beginning of time and never had a civilization more advanced than what they have. They seem pretty happy with what they have because they don't know what the rest of the world is like. That is nice because you should be happy. They are very smart people because I don't know about you but if I was put into the forest with nothing and had to survive for a few days, there is no way I could do it to be honest. The video is pretty interesting when you listen to it and what they are talking about. We aren't finished watching it yet but we will be on Monday or when we get back I think.
