Guns, Germs, Steel

The Scientist Jared Diamond has a theory about how some cities were more developed than others. I think it is because the advancement in technology was spread in certain parts of the world, but not others. Even though New Guinea was developed way before the Americas, they seemed to not get all of the advancements. They seem to be going about life how they did in ancient times, being hunters and gatherers. The video said that one place that you will be able to find hunters and gatherers is in the rain forests in New Guinea. It's crazy to think how different the world is. At one point the world must have been equal. To be honest, I really don't think we will ever really be able to know for sure what caused this to happen. We will only have our predictions on what caused the world to be how it is today.
