street art prompt. ps i still dont know how to get my pictures on the post

I wake up and get ready to go to work. I eat some breakfast and head out he door. On my way to work I decide to get a coffee at starbucks. I wait in line to get my coffee and talk to my neighbor. I finally get to the front of the line and order my coffee. I look at my watch and decide I could sit down and read for awhile. I read my newspaper and drink my coffee and think to myself "today is going to be a good day." all of a sudden there was a earth rattle in shake. My coffee spills everywhere and everyone around me is screaming. I look out the window of the starbucks. There is a massive object that is casting a shadow over the starbucks. The cashier rushes to the tv to turn on the news. There was a reporter on the screen. She said "the sky is falling." Everyone screamed even more loudly. The sceen behind her was horrific. There were two bodies behind her. One person had been crushed by the whole object. Another had been shanked with a clear part of the "sky". Is this the way that the world ends?... to be continued?

1. Explain to the best of your ability how radiocarbon dating works, and what some of the problems inherent with this type of testing are (pages 94-96)? You might also want to consult wikipedia for help on this one, but please use the book as well.
The way radiocarbon dating works is when an object decays it leave carbon. Carbon has a 'half life' and when using certain isotopes it is compared to another living thing from the current time and is found by the date. The formula that scientist use to find out how old the object is, is t = [ ln (Nf/No) / (-0.693) ] x t1/2


2. These days you can travel to just about any country in the world and find a McDonald’s or a Pizza Hut. Not that you’d want to, but you could. We live in a highly diversified global economy, and the accessibility of a wide variety of foods is consistent across most parts of the planet. However, this was not always true. In the recent past the part of the world you lived in would dictate what foods were available in your diet. According to the table on page 100 - and your general knowledge about the world - what part of the world would you have wanted to live on if you were alive 1,000 years ago?

heres the table i remade


countries r on the left, food is in the middle, and animals r on the right.
southwest asia- wheat, pea, olive sheep, goat
china- rice, millet pig silk worm
mesoamerica- corn, beans, squash turkey
andes and amozonia- potato, manioc llama, guinea, pig
Eastern united states- sunflower, goose foot none
sahel- sorghum, african rice guinea fowl
tropical west africa- african yams, oil palm none
ethiopia- coffee, teff none
new guinea- sugar cane, banana none
western europe- poppy, oat none
indus valley - sesame, eggplant humped cattle
egypt sycamore fig, chufa donkey, cat


I would have wanted to live in southwest asia because it was the most edible stuff in it. I just think it to be edible. I have picky taste.

chapter 3 questions Guns, Germs, and Steel reply

Some strange men come to the village dressed in armor and riding horses. One of the men wearing some brown robes approches my king Atahuallpa. The man was carrying a book. He handed the book to the king and started to speak in some forign language to him. The king inspectsthe book. THe man in the brown robes reaches towards the book but the king wishes him not to and pushes his hand aside. Atahullpa throws the book aside because he was displeased that he could not read it. All of a sudden the man yells in his language and the men on the horses charge us and strike us down. Many of my fellow people are falling to the ground dead all around me. I look up and see one man on a horse take Atahullpa away. There is nothing I can do Im being crushed by multiple human bodies. Day turns to night. Thise of us who had survived the brutal attack retreat into the woods to hide. We never wanted to be seen again.

Guns, Germs, and Steel chapter two question

What role did ‘geography’ play in the story of the Maori and the Moriori?

both group were Polynesian and were Maori. After the Maori had populated the Chatham islands they became the Moriori. After a few centuries the two groups became different types of people. The Maori on the North island developed more complex technology than the Moriori. The Moriori became hunter- gatherers and the Maori became farmers. This is what led to their fighting. Also different environment affected the way each groups lived and survived.

Chapter 1 questions, Guns, Germs, and Steel

1. The "fluke colonization theory" is the belife that the reason australia/new guinea became populated by people was because a few people including a pregnant woman were fishing on a raft got swept off to sea and happened to land on australlia.
Evidence that challenges this theory is that they would of had to had watercraft to reach australlia/new guina because it wasn't visible from the nearest island to it and it would be to far for someone to swim.

2. The lessons on what we have learned about the animals on the Galapagos Islands is that they had no predators to eat them a never died as much. They were so acusstomed to this living that when humans started to inhabit the islands that they wouldn't be scared of them. Could you amagine being able to hear those animals talk I bet it would sound like this. " hey what are you little guys. Hey cool sticks." next thing you know the animal is hanging over a fire getting cooked. Anyways next question. How do these animals apply to our thinking of the apparently quick mass extinctions of megafauna ( giant animals) in New Guinea and elsewhere?. Well my thinking is this. the big animals never really caught on to the fact that all the little dudes with sticks were actually humans trying to kill them. So then the animals all eventually became extinct. haha stupid animals....haha....

3. In what ways is the travel of Clovis decendants from North America to Patagonia ( southern edge of South America) in only 1ooo years immpressive. Well first the reason it toook so long for them to get to Patagonia is because they werenew to the area and they ended up wandering around until they finally got there. In what ways is it not immpresive? Well it's really the fact that they didn't know were the hell they were going.

4. What is "The Great Leap Forward"? Haha its sounds like some cheesy disney movie about hopscotch or an old movie that has to do with time travel. Anyways back to the question. "The Great Leap Forward" is really about humans migrating in other countries and islands. What aremy thoughts about it? Ummm I have none.
