Jared Diamond was on track with his
theory of geographic luck. He was on
track because he had all of the right details about what makes a place
geographically lucky. Such as the
different types of animals and plants it takes to be able to have a successful
village. In the book they talk about how
in the prehistoric era, everyone one was a hunter and gatherer. The roles that men and women were equal in
power. The men would go out and
hunt. The women would gather the plants,
berries and other foods. Making them
have equal roles. As time went on and
people started settling down and forming a village the men started farming so
the women wouldn’t have to spend all of their time collecting food and gave
them a chance to try different things.
This led to the invention of many different things and tools. This is exactly what Jared Diamond said about
how the people of Europe were able to have guns, germs, and steel.
Drew, this turned out to be a pretty short essay. Maybe you could have covered the topic more deeply - discussing what skills were allowed to develop, what role did domesticable plants and animals play, for example - giving you a more in-depth essay.
