Notes

We got our tests back today and my essay bumped my grade up is I'm happy about that. Mr. Schick highlighted a to of my words so I guess I hit a lot of key points. We took notes on a powerpoint for the rest of the class on Prehistoric Eras. It was about the Origins and ages of human beings. 200,000 years ago a human species emerged in Southwestern Africa. 14,000 years ago, a worldwide human race existed. The earliest prehistoric age is also known as the Old Stone Age. After that, it was the Neotholic Age or the New Stone Age. It was marked by advanced tool making and the beginnings of agriculture. The Neotholic Revolution is also known as the Agriculture Revolution. This is when infant mortality improved and hierarchies appeared.

I do not understand how people can come together and form a language that becomes so widespread. It stresses me out just to think about this. There is no real answer.

We watched more of the video today. Some of the answers to the questions we were asking were answered. The answers were too simple. The progress of nation partly depends on geographic luck but that is not the whole answer. Another part of it is animals. We have domesticated many animals to help with work, food, and agriculture. New Guineans only have pigs. Pigs are not very useful when it comes to helping out with land. Other animals in New Guinea are very hard to domesticate. Such as, zebras. Zebras would be ideal, but since they are constantly in a predatory environment, they are violent and skittish. They have a mean streak that would be very difficult to tame.
