1st blog of the new year. It's 1/7/2020 and it's been three weeks since I had to type a blog. Today in class we saw our scores for the midterms. We also talked about the book "Guns, Germs, and Steel". The author is Jared Diamond. The book was published in March 1977. Jared Diamond is a professor at UCLA in Los Angeles. He's a Biologists which is the study of human physiology. His real passion is to study birds. The book explains why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered other areas. One factor of this is Geographic luck. This is when you are born into a well-developed area that is better than other areas. The book is also showing why white supremacy is wrong. Jared's journey started in Papua New Guinea. It's located above Australia on an island that looks like a Dino. Why on the island Jared was presented a question by man named Yali. His questions was "Why you white men have so much cargo, and we New Guineans have so little?" Several years earlier the British flew to the island on a plane and showed their "cargo" to the people. At the time the people were not using machines for work. They haven't discovered electricity yet, so seeing something like a plane was shocking to them. When they saw what the British had they began to wear it as sign of class/power. Some people still believe power is determined by race.
