Why does the world develop so unevenly?
The question that needs to be answered, not just for this class but for the betterment of our lives as humans is: Looking back to history, why has the world developed so unevenly? This will inform you on when and where the first humans were said to be located. Also we will learn about how war affects many people and how these effects make the lives of these people harder and harder. Next, I will talk about how farming has impacted the way that we eat and what we eat. After farming, we will take a journey through how the weather effects the plants and animals, also how that since the first societies they could not have survived if it weren’t for the Fertile Crescent. The first reason that should be known about the world is according to Diamond (1999 pg 36) some fossils in Africa indicate that the evolutionary line leading through gorillas/monkeys to us had archived a substantially upright posture by around 4 million years ago. Around 2.5 billion years ago, their relative brain size and body size started to increase (Diamond, 1999 pg 36). This helps us understand more about how man came to …show more content…
If you are a farmer growing anything you may want to be closer to either the equator or one of the Tropics (Cancer and Capricorn). A professor of Philosophy at Marist College in New York says “Known as the Cradle of Civilization, the Fertile Crescent is regarded as the birthplace of agriculture, urbanization, writing, trade, science history and organized religion and was first populated in 10,000 BCE when agriculture and the domestication of animals began in the region” (2009, pg 1). If the weather in one part of the world is good for farming and raising livestock then they won’t have trouble doing so, but if it is the opposite type of weather for another country then you would expect the opposite outcome to happen as
