Geographic Luck

         Jared Diamond was right about Geographic Luck. He was right because the shape of the country had a large impact on early civilizations. The shape of an area had such an impact because plants and animals survive better when in generally the same climate. If the area you lived in was longer from East to West than the plants and animals in that location would have a greater chance of thriving. But if the area you were in was longer for North to South than the plants and animals wouldn't be able to expand as well as they would going West to East. This is because climate is believed to stay generally the same at the same latitude and climate changes greatly going North to South. He was also correct because the areas with larger animals that were able to be domesticated had communities that were able to take advantage of this. By domesticating large animals people got more nutrition and were able to speed up farming. Therefore, Jared Diamond was right about Geographic Luck.

First Day of West Civ.!

                Today during West civ. I was late to class. But when I got there we went over how to make you blogger account. We also went to the teachers blog and read over the instructions for our blogs. We were told that we had to make a blog after every class summarizing what we learned that day. The teacher recommended we do the blogs all after every class because the few points they’re worth add up and do make a difference in your grade. Also, we were assigned books numbers and told that we need to buy a notebook. The teacher wants the ugly notebooks that we used in 1^st grade and he likes them a lot because they have a taped spine and not a spiral spine. He said that the spiral notebook spines “..get caught on your backpack and your shirts..” and no one agreed but it wasn’t worth the argument.
