C. Jared Diamond was very lucky. He went to Papua New Guinea to bird watch. But when he got there he discovered people with an interesting background. He found people that are different from any other people. You may think that they don’t have a lot but they really do. They have some really good resources of food and warmth.
It is very hard to find animals in Papua New Guinea that can be used for work and to kill for food. There are 14 different animals that can be domesticated but Papua New Guinea doesn’t have any of them, except a pig. When the seasons change they move to a new and different rive to find animals for food. The gathering for food is usually done by women. Sago is a big thing in New Guinea. Sago isn’t a very good food to have a big surplus of food. It can’t be stored for a long time but it good while it lasts. After the Stone Age people began becoming farmers. New Guinean farmers are no less talented than any other farmer.
From this day New Guinea still eats sago but has changed a lot. Their economy has increasing fast. They have a high economy but low employment rate. They have a lot of imports and exports. Gold and silver are to big ones. Papua New Guinea is coming along. They don’t have all of the technology that we do but they still find things to get around life with. They have big domesticated animals to use as a plow and as human work. New Guinea is no different than us. They still have resources for food and for warmth. They just don’t understand why they aren’t like us. Why do you white men have so much cargo and we New Guineas have so little? We have good technology but they do to.
