Geographic Luck

                Jared Diamond was on track with his theory of geographic luck. In section LO-1 of our textbook there are multiple examples that support the theory. Throughout the world in the Paleolithic Age people lived as hunters and gathers to support themselves and family. Men and women both had essential roles in their communities to feed and protect themselves. Many of the roles still live on today. In the communities thousands of years ago women’s role were to gather crops and to tend to the children while the men went out to hunt. A revolution occurred that helped shape the world as we know it; the Agricultural Revolution. This revolution took place several times around the world. It allowed people to live in one area to grow foods and domesticate animals. The change allowed women to work from home such as caring for the children, cooking, tending small animals and farms.  Since the change men took on a larger role, feeding the family. Men were in charge of farming along with growing animals for meat. All of these changes has shaped the world we know.
