Gun, Germs, and Steel 3

Today in class we were watching and taking notes on more of the video about the people in papa new guinnea and geographic luck. The main part of notes that we took during the class today was animal domestication. Animal Domestication is animals that humans are able to tame and control their actions and everything they do. Some of the first animals that were domesticated back in the ancient times were sheep and goats. Out of many animals that are at least 100 pounds, there is only 12 of them that have actually been domesticated.
These animals are:
-goats
-pigs
-horses
-Bactrian camels
-sheep
-cows
-donkeys
-Arabian camels
-water buffalo
-llamas
-reindeer
-yaks
-Mithans
-Bali Cattle
Some places that weren't geographically lucky, and didn't have any animals that could be easily domesticated included:
-New Guinnea
-North America
-Australia
We also talked about the fertile crescent that includes the Tigress and Euphrates rivers

Studying for population information test on monday

Today in class we were going over most of the information like: -Life Expectancy                       -Push Forces -Total Fertility Rate                   -Pull Forces -Net Migration Rate                  -Immigration -Crude Birth Rate                      -Emigration -Crude Death Rate                     -The Table Of Populations Over The Years Life expectancy is the average number of years a group of people are expected to live who were born in the same year.

The TFR must be 2.1 in a population in order for their population to be rising. So if the number is 2.1, then it is rising, but if the number is 2.09, then their countries population is decreasing.

Last day of human geo

Today is the last class of this semester for human geo. Next semester we are moving on to western civilization and I have Mr.Fendryk and not you :( So today during class we just decided to watch jeopardy since we were done everything that needed to be done. I didn't do that well during jeopardy as I only got 4 right out of how many questions were asked. But it was really fun and we weren't doing anything important which was a sigh of relief because all day I was taking notes and working. There isn't much else to write about besides the fact that I had a really great time in this class during this semester. I wont forget the full class discussions that we always did and the studying the day before the test consistently. Thank you for everything Mr.Schick
