Here are notes on the movie:

Jared Diamond a man looking for why other countries developed faster than others. He had to go back to pre-history, when humans where thriving in the Middle-East. Everyone was the same all hunter gathers. They were nomadic.They were travelers. In New Guinea they still hunt and gather like the ones 40,000 years ago. the woman gather ago a pulp from a tree. The gathering is harder but doesn't get a lot of calories to survive, so New Guineans must hunt to survive. Jared Diamond is searching for this question and found a small village 11,000 years old. The people had a granary that protected plants and food to protect from insects and bacteria. The grains they stored were wheat and barley. The stone age people int the Middle East were farmers.When they started farming they were taking over nature(Domestication). People in China started farming rice, and in the Us people were farming squash. In Africa they started growing Yams. New Guineans were one of the first farmers.The plants and fruits in New Guinea don't have protein, hard to make, and don't last long.
