review for test tommorrow

1. sago trees, grow in swamps, and cut down my the women made into pulp to eat, they have little protein and doesn't last very long
2. the reason why papua new guinea never developed like other countries is because they  never had any useful animals like horses or cows to plow their crops or give them food or their hides that can be used to make into clothing and blankets. crops were not easy to grow like wheat or barely.
3. ideal characteristics of domesticadable animals. being over 100 pounds for strength or manual labor and more meat. they have to be able to get along with humans and easily breakable. heard animals have a head honcho that the rest of the heard follow or social hierarchy. they produce milk. they can reproduce babies quickly, about a couple a year.
4. ideal characteristics of domesticadable plants. easy to prepare to eat, and easier to plant to create more plants, has to be able to be stored for a long time or in graineries. has to be versatile. plants surplus or more than enough to survive for that week or month. they assigned jobs to certain people or specialization. with specialization it allowed people to have enough time to figure out things that other words wouldn't have time to do if they always had to focus on getting food for the next day. within time population grows.
5. people in the fertile crescent had to move because they overgrew their crops. they moved eat and west along the same latitude so the climate was the same, animals were natural there too.
6. Draa' is the very first community or village, they had a grainery which stored their food and they had a surplus.
7. Jared diamond was a professor at UCLA and went to Papua new guinea every year to bird watch. He made a book off of it which turned into a best seller, then into a movie. Jared diamond began his quest to find the answer of why Americans have so many possessions and why new guinea have so little.
8. present day new guinea has airports and docks in the harbor so they can trade and stay connected with the rest of the world because they are an island. they have natural resources like gold, silver, copper, oil, fisheries, to trade, get money, and thrive.
