Was Jared Diamond on the right track with his theory about Geographic luck?

I think Jared Diamond was on track because if you have Geographic luck then your civilization will grow. Like if there are good crops that reproduce fast and easily then the other people can focus on learning new jobs and having better skills. Also people learned how to hunt and gather. So there were crops and animals and other foods. Later advanced tools were made so jobs could be easier. Farming and domesticating took place in many parts of the world. And with the new agriculture improvements the families are going to have to stay in the same place. So they made permanent houses and didn’t plane on leaving anytime soon. But after the spreading of agriculture humans were ready for their next social step: the rise of the first true civilization. It was very rare that the prehistoric society of farmers and villagers has evolved on its own into an advanced civilization.

  1. This is a good start, but I wish you had gone a little further. How about discussing domesticated animals? Or the new roles of men and women? Try to dig a little deeper next time, Becca!
