Guns, Germs, and Steel ending

Today we finished Guns, Germs, and Steel.  I only took a few notes:

  • Jordan
  • people made houses out of plaster
  • burned with fire in 1000 degrees
  • learning to make plaster was the first step
  • climate was too dry to grow crops
  • 20 million tons of wheat a year eaten by Americas
  • New Guineans acquired pigs
  • the answer to Yali's question is geography
