Germs, Guns, and Steel

Today we watched/continued watching the movie Germs, Guns, and Steel. We also took a pop quiz. I got a 4/6 and although I strive for better grades, I will learn from this experience and use it to positively influence my future performance. Here are the notes we took today on the documentary:

• New Guineans have lived in New Guinea for 40,000 years, much longer than people have lived in the Americas.
• Whites are genetically superior, and are supposed to have more. 
• All good civilizations have large populations, specialized worker, and advanced technology for their time

I look forward to learning more about ancient civilization this semester and to learn how the world came to be.
