The Headline for G.G.S part 2

My new headline for Guns, Germs and Steel was, "How People and Civilizations thrived." I chose this headline because the movie is all about the beginnings of civilization and how it advanced from The Stone age to now. It also showed that people needed civilization to thrive. People and civilizations thrive by food and cooperation. If people didn't have a good food source such as farms, they wouldn't have the time or energy to build civilization. In the Neolithic age people had to cooperate with each other to get things done.
The reason for some parts of Papa New Guinea to not have very advanced civilization is because that they do not have enough recourses to farm. This to me is odd because I can understand that many years ago they wouldnt but now I think, why can't they try and get some help?

Thanks for responding to the questions, Daniel.

Here's a follow-up to your quote, "People and civilizations thrive by food and cooperation". Are you then saying that if people don't cooperate it is not a civilization? How do the issues in the world today play to this statement? Are there any conclusions you can draw from this?

You have some good thoughts, but you would benefit from spending more time to drill further into them.

Well done.

Mr. McQueen
