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.
