"Civilization from the past and now"

i thought the movie was interesting on how they compared how the middle east thrived more successfully then Papa New Guinea. the movie was also comparing which farm animal in the best. the best as if you can eat it, you can ride it and it can move other stuff. but in Papa New Guinea they used a pig which was not very successful. and in the middle eats they had a  lot more animals to chose from other countries around them. also to be a hunter in Papa New Guinea you would have to be strong smart and fast. where in the middle east they did not hunt as much the preferred to farm crops. in total i thought  i had learnt a lot from the movie.

I liked how you compared the two farming places. One piece of suggestion is that you can also say that only 14 plant eater animals were successful as a farm animal.
Great job!

Alistair,

Again, why don't you try to expand on your thoughts to provide some detail to REALLY show your understanding (rather than simply saying, "I learned a lot from the movie").

Which farm animal is "the best"? Why?

How did it become a farm animal?

Are there any negative effects with creating farm animals?

Why is a pig not very successful?

You say that hunters are strong, smart and fast and that in the Mid East they prefer to farm...what does this say about how the difference in bodies between hunters and farmers? What do you think?

Please answer these questions in a post.
