Today in humanities class we watched a movie called, "Guns, Germs and Steel." We had to take notes during the movie. At the end of class, we individually gave a heading which wraps up the whole movie. My heading was, "The Steps From Little to More."
The showed us the progress of foods for human beings. In early men period, people searched food by mainly hunting. In Papua New Guinea, people also got food from Sago trees. Sago was major food for them. But it didn't have enough protein and calories. So somtimes they ate a disgusting insect like giant spiders. At the same time, Papua New Guineans began to plant seeds of wheats and barley. Therefore, they became the first farmers in the world. Their farming works were very primitive. They just farmed everything with bare hands because at that time, there were no tecnology developed. There weren't any effective tools like ploughs to do the farming. However, they were smart enough to use animals' droppings for natural fertilizer. Now a days, we are living in the civilized society. Although Papua New Guineans still has somehow similar living attidude like the early man period, people are enjoying a better quality of life including nutritious foods.
I feel that the world has been moving from little to more.

I love it!!! It was really specific, and I love your name, "The Steps from little to more!" Great Job!!!!!!!!!
Okay, Sun Hae.
Good blog, but I have a couple of questions;
If the people from Papau New Guinea planted wheat and barley, why didn't the become the most advanced? (They planted wheat and barley in the Fertile Crescent).
How do calories and protein help a group of people?
Why are people from Papau New Guinea NOT as advanced as those from the Fertile Crescent, Europe, and America?
Please try answering these questions.
I really like your title, "The Steps From Little to More" because it shows your thinking.
It shows that the world has changed and improved a lot overtime. Am I right? :]
