Diamond discovered why some civilizations advance and others don’t, he went back in time (in research) to get a better prospective of what he was trying to learn. He noticed that after the ice age, a long time ago hunters and gathers became more populated after the ice age then before. The big part of this episode showed where they would store all the foods after the animals have been hunted. The people would gather the food in one place and once all that food was gone they would move on to another area. During all of this, in the Middle East, people were going through a drought and they had a low supply of food. This meant they couldn’t travel a lot; they had to stay near a water source, and live in starvation. This forced the people to start farming food and storing it for later. They plant the food cut it down them to eat. This disturbed the natural pattern of the food and they domesticated the food. They then stored the food in granaries and could store it for later. Just this one invention changed the way they lived because of the hunters and gatherers they were able to work on shelter and other important stuff to help them live. They could develop weapons, weave, and make new things. Now Papa New Guinea still lives this way and is fighting every day to progress their technology.
