Test essay
C. Jared diamonds theory of geographic luck is almost exactly what it sounds like. Ancient civilizations could not change their land or area. its all about luck and what the land gives you. People in the fertile crescent were lucky to get a land that was rich is soil and good for growing crops. they did not make it like that. Land in the Middle East were given animals that were good for domesticating and being put to use to make the peoples lives easier. Donkeys, goats, pigs, cows, all excellent animals to have in your civilization because they can produce milk, perform manual labor like pulling a plow, good resource for meat, and hide for cloths. Papua New Guinea was unlucky to have a land that has no animal, poor for crops, and they are forces to eat sago trees. It is all about where you happen to end up living, what is naturally there that is useful to you for growing a civilization, and becomes more advanced in technology.
