Movie Part 2

Hunter gathers will always be at a disadvantage

In America corn quash and beans are the big farming produce

Highland New Guinea- been farming for ten thousand years. the farms are as talented as any other farmer but the new guinea crops rot quickly and have  to be eaten in a certain time. Only had pigs for food. thats not helpful because it cant be used as plows or hide 

The type of farming is crucial it all comes down to geographic luck.

Americans have an advantage over new guinea because we have protein and more stored food.

people were only allowed to live by farming. but then nine thousand years ago they discovered animal domestication. the animals could also be used for they milk and fur would be used for clothes. animals also are used as a fertilizer for cops. The animals were only used for meat but then they found they can be used for other things like plows. 

Sheep are useful for their milk and clothes or blankets meat is the main reason for sheep
With Horses or oxes their useful for transpirtation and plowing. being able to farm and feed  more people

some birds and fish have been domesticated but not most. You want a large herbivores animal like an elephant to be domesticated. lions aren't good because you need to make other animals to feed them. You have to train elephants to work for you but it eats a lot of  food so it could be a problem   they need to be social animals. it also need to be able to get along with humans. Zebras could be as useful as horses but they are to aggressive for humans to tame. 

the 14 domesticated animals are goats, sheep, pigs, cows, horses, donkeys, camels, water buffalo, mithan
