Europeans ruled the world with advantages of Guns, Germs, and Steel. Jared Diamond has researched for many years how humans have become so so different like what seperates "have" and "have nots". Guns, germs and steel Shaped the History of the world, but how? Paupa New guinea is were Jared starts his expodition to find this out. He is a professor by UCLA. He is a biologist and specializes in human physeoligist and loves birds and studies them so that i the reason he goes to New Guinea. He is also intrested how New Guinea and how they live. Most culturally diverse and most adaptible. Diamond questioned how are they much poorer? "Why do you white men have so much cargo and us New Guineans have so little?" Cargo means material goods. Cargo was treated like religion but, New Guineans believed that they were genetically inferior then white men. In this enviroment they are the only people to ever live in those conditions and the only way some other people who visit are the only way they live. "So How did our worlds ever become so diffrent?" All nations that progrssed faster have had technological advantages. And also had big populations and well organized work force. He had to think back befor other populations back 13 thousand yeras ago. The Middle East no has people and are living the same way as others. He goes to New Guinea to see how they hunt just like the way they did back in the Middle East back 13 thousand years ago. We stopped the Movie at Jared Diamond messing up a bow and arrow shot
