Today in class we watched a movie called, "Gun Germs and Steal." The main character in the movie is a man named, Jared Diamond, he traveled to a remote island called, "Papua New Guinea." Diamonds passion is to study birds. A man from Guinea said to Diamond, "why do white men have so much cargo and us guineas have so little?" But Diamond did not agree with that statement. People in New Guinea have been farming for over 10,000 years. China has been farming rice, America has been farming corn and squash, and Africa has been farming millet and yams.
