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.
