Geographic Determinism The Foundation Period of World History

Environmental Determinism Genetics vs. Environment Escaping Eurocentrism Studying History as a Science Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond Student Drawing of Early Man (Cro-Magnon) Features, misconceptions, tools,… Using Interactive Notebook (TCI History Alive) Omega 3 influence on development 50,000 years ago, where is man located “Eve” Genetic theory How did we get to where we are?

Domestication of Plants Plants available for domestication 56 large-seed grass species 32 located in Mediterranean-wheat, barley,… 6 located in East Asia-rice varieties 4 located in Sub-Saharan Africa 11 located in Americas-maize 2 located in Australia-(Macadamia nut)

Domestication of Animals Animals available for domestication 72 species available (weight over 100 lbs.) 13 (32) located in Eurasia—18% of available 1(24) located in America—4%--Extinction (Neolithic) 0 (51) located in Sub-Saharan Africa—0% 0 (1) located in Australia—0%--Extinction (Neolithic)

Requirements of Animal Domestication Diet humans can supply Rapid growth rate +100 lbs. Ability to breed in captivity Tractable disposition Submissive social structure Do not panic when enclosed (fence)

East-West Axis vs North-South Axis East-West axis has same latitude Small climatic variation Facilitates idea diffusion North-South axis has varying latitudes Creates varying climates Changes survival needs of plants and animals

Spread of Food and Animals Chickens, rice and citrus fruit China>Europe Horses Ukraine>China & Fertile Crescent>Europe Sheep, goats, cattle, wheat and barley Fertile Crescent>East & West

Spreading Diseases from Animals Measles---Dog Influenza---Pig Smallpox & Tuberculosis---Cow 95% of Pre-Columbian Native American population exterminated Malaria---Chickens/birds Recent Avian Flu outbreaks in SE Asia
