Well this week our teacher has been showing us the 3-part movie by Jared Diamond. Im not gonna lie even though I have an A in world History I'd rather mess with girls them pay attention but this documentary has caught my attention. Ill admit it's very interesting how Diamond explains why some civilzations have flourished while others are struggling to catch up. He says geograpic luck is the main reason why some people rose while others are still trying to advance. In the movie his example is the people of Papua New Guinea who are among the most adaptable in the world but are still nothing like other countries today. He also talks about how the conquistatdors were able to conquer the Inca.
What do ya'll think about all this? Are you familiar with Jared Diamond?
