Final Day of Guns, Germs, and Steel

Today we finished watching Guns, Germs, and Steel. The rest of the video was about the migration form the fertile crescent. The Fertile Crescent was the origin of many strong and successful settlements. The fertile land, grown crops, and animals near by allowed for these people to have a head start at life. After a few thousand years the climate and land became too dry for the proper crops to grow and the people so the people had to leave the Fertile Crescent. This is when the people decided to move east and west of their current land. This change of latitude allowed the people to be on new land with fairly similar climate for their crops, clothes, animals, and lifestyle. This lead to great civilizations due to their region. The Europeans were the next to bring the most popular crops and animals like wheat or barley and cattle to the Americas. This is what jump started the Americas early on.
