The pastoral nomads from Palestine were unlike other subsistence farmers since they depended on animals rather than crops for survival. The animals provided milk, and their skins and hair were used for clothing and tents. Most pastoral nomads migrated with their livestock between mountains and lowland pasture areas based on the season of the year. The ancient Israelites were forced to adapt to hot and dry climate. This is the reason why planting crops was almost impossible. However,

    Jared Diamond

    Have you ever wondered why the modern world is so unequal? Why the United States is so technologically advanced while places like Papua New Guinea and places in Africa still rely on a hunter-gatherer way of life? Jared Diamond contemplates these questions through his exploration of geographic luck and evaluation of the first development of guns, germs, and steel. Among the various contributors to the initial progression of growing nations (and guns, germs, and steel) include: the cultivation of wheat, smallpox and malaria resistance, general continent shape and location, as well as the development of writing. Cultivation of wheat led those in the fertile crescent to surpass others who didn’t have the advantage of hearty grain to keep them…

    Root Of Inequality, By Jared Diamond

    Jared Diamond espouses the view that the “root of inequality” is the geographical location of a country and the resources it possesses. According to Diamond, all societies in the world were equally wealthy at one time in history. Unfortunately, global environmental changes made some parts of the world to experience harsh weather conditions that made traditional hunting and gathering inefficient in providing food for households. Regions that were geographically disadvantaged were unable to access adequate resources and skills for their development. Diamond uses New Guinea, which is a poor country, and the United States, a wealthy nation, for his analysis.…

    Ap World History Research Paper

    1. The neolithic revolution was the period in time in which the introduction of agriculture led people to transition from the wandering nomadic lifestyle to settled life. During this time, nomads, or people who wandered from place to place in search of food, began to domesticate animals and crops so that they no longer had to follow or hunt for their food sources; because of this, these former nomads were able to create farms using the crops they domesticated and settlements and were able to use their domesticated animals, not only as a source of food, but also as a source of companionship, a tool to assist with farm labor, and for transportation. The development of farming spread to other areas of society as well, as the creation of new tools for farming, new types of shelter, and clothing among other things began to emerge. As time went on, the techniques and tools used for farming were improved and new tools to assist in the storing, sowing, planting of seeds, and measuring of time were created; these innovations caused farms to create surpluses of food, which lead to the growth of population and the…

    Nomadic people have been a staple of world history throughout time as they have played an important role in the world we have today. In Eurasia, which is modern day Europe and Asia, there were many strong groups of nomadic people who moved frequently. Two of these groups were the Mongols and the Seljuk nomads.

    Crusades Through Arab Eyes Summary

    “Crusades Through Arab Eyes” by Amin Maalouf The great Crusade started in the second half of the 11th Century after Pope Urban II appealed to followers to reconquer the Holy Land from Muslims. Most Turks had converted to Islam, which was a concern for Alexios who was the Byzantine emperor of the Middle East region. The first war was to retake the Holy Land from Muslims, but it was realized that the Crusaders (or the Franj as referred by Muslims) had other intentions of conquering the territory of the Muslims. The book “Crusades Through Arab Eyes” tries to portray a different vantage point from an Arab-Muslim perspective.…

    Agriculture In Ancient Egypt

    An ancient Egyptian temple at Abu Simbel had a granary that could store enough grain to feed 20,000 people for a year (Fernandez-Armesto 56-65). The ancient Egyptians, like all of the other river valley civilizations were completely dependent on agriculture for food and wealth, as Fernandez-Armesto says, “without agriculture, people could have no security of life.” Without agriculture people would not know where their next meal would come from, but with agriculture they would always know where their next meal was coming from. For the Egyptians, wheat and barley were the most commonly grown crops, these crops were used to make bread and beer of the civilization. The ancient Egyptian were known as “bread eaters” by people living around Egypt,…
