Guns Germs and Steel Final Day

Today we finished the video of Guns, Germs, and Steel. This video helped me learn a lot about why geography is so important and how it drastically effected the growth of civilization. The big thing that Jared Diamond wanted to get across was that the reason European and Asian civilizations prospered faster than the rest of the world was because of geographic luck and not that they were better than the rest of the world. I agree with this theory because of the amount of evidence Jared Diamond shows. It makes sense that the people with better crops built more powerful civilizations. I think there's more to  it, but he still has a great point.
