Class Notes on LO 1 pages

                 The first thing that we did today in class was getting assigned seats. I got moved to the front of the room which i didn't mind especially since i cant see too well. After that, we took notes on some of the main points of the pages that we were supposed to read over the weekend. We discussed how the pages in the book related back to Jared Diamond's theory. One example is that the people were hunter/gatherers and had to live off of what was around them. They had to rely on having useful resources and domesticated animals. If they didn't have geographic luck, they wouldn't be able to survive and prosper as a country. We also looked at the Agricultural Revolution a little bit. We took a few notes on how it changed the way people lived. For example, they advanced in the "technology" of the day. It gave them more improved weapons and tools. Mr. Schick also mentioned the way people's looks have changed. For example, people used to be more slumped over with longer arms, probably due to gathering and searching for food all day.
