Unit 10-Initial Thoughts

I believe the earth will be very complex and united in 100 years. I think there will be more poorer countries, also with less countries because the major power countries will take in other countries that can't provide for themselves. I bet the population will be a couple billion more then it is today, with the population growth slowing down dramatically. The physical Earth will look the same. I bet there will be more islands from land breaking apart and the fault line in California will break off. Technology will change and make most activities faster and less hands on. Like agriculture, agriculture will be done mostly by machines and all the farmers will have to do is put in coordinates for where the machines to farm. I also think medical care will be improved by everyone getting a "bar code" tattoo at the bottom of their foot at a certain age that will have all their information on it, as well as drivers license and other documentation. I think all of this because I don't believe our world is at a revolution stop. I think we will keep improving at everything we do.

I believe that agriculturist had a better way of living. I think this because the hunter gathers had to work harder for their food and they didn't have  an as balanced diet. The agriculturist had plenty of food for themselves and for their towns which allowed for more jobs. Agriculture allowed for there to be towns and for people to live together. Agriculture lets people have more of a variety of food and a healthy diet. With there being less people having to gather food there were more people doing different jobs which led to entertainment and stores.

Lee and Sahlins believe that the hunter gathers had it easier then we thought and they weren't poor. The hunter-gathers only got what was necessary to live which gave them less worries and complications then future generations. I agree and understand what they were saying, but I still think farmers had a better and easier life. I understand what they are saying because when you are just trying to get food and supplies for survival you don't have anymore needs or wants.

I thought that the text should tell more about what the Kitavan people ate. These people must have a very healthy duet with very low fat to have small waists. I don't get how this island is so much different then the rest of Papua New Guinea. I think my understanding of the quality has become more complex by seeing that a group of people are healthier and more fit from their diet.

These tools allowed early civilizations to harvest some of their fields and supply food to their civilians. The shapes and materials allowed for those people in the past to do this. These tools allow for the factors of accessibility and variety of food. My conclusion matches with my guesses.
