Check my grammar: - What is your opinion on geographic luck and how it influenced the migration and productivity of humans?

Geographic luck is a theory proposed by Jared Diamond, indicating that some regions due to geographical reasons were able to develop as an agricultural based community and take advantage from the shift garnering food from farming, stable source of food, instead of hunter gathering, overly reliant on multiple geographical factors. In my opinion, the term ‘luck’ elucidates the predestined superiority in resource affluence found in certain portions of the planet surpassing other barren regions of land. I concur with the validity of the theory, and find a negative correlation between frequency in migration with the abundance of resources while a positive correlation between the latter and the productivity of humans. This is because the wider and greater accessibility to native species and a favorable climate have burgeoned the efficiency of food production, while also created opportunities in other categories, eg. the textile industry producing fabric with animal fur. As development progresses, though humans may expand their territory so more available land are cultivated more habitable and sustainable, less migration will happen to due the establishment of a stable food source, a secure while balanced community.

- How did this concept contribute to growth of societies and cultures?

By means of a variety of indigenous mammals and potentially domesticated plants as food source, efficient labor, and primary material for textiles, the productivity in all industries were escalated, standards of life greatly improved while population exponentially increased. Therefore, only with with stable source of sustenances and greater productivity, were the formation and advancement of societies made possible. Moreover, the concept contributes to the growth of cultures as the abundance in natural resources have offered opportunities for the communities to further expand and conquer land, to propagate their civilization and with the prerequisite of materialistic fulfillment, develop technology and make their civilizations more powerful and prosperous.

- How do you think this theory will influence our future learning of world history?

The theory is meaningful as it encourage us to appreciate our precedents and become culturally aware of our history. However, predating the tremendous changes conflicts and advancements in latter history, geographical luck compared to the latter incidents has less impact on the modern world. Nevertheless, the theory still influences the contemporary world, as it plays a crucial role in making income for countries. Geographic luck contribute to a country’s development enabling advancement in its agricultural and industrial economy, enabling it to cultivate and manufacture goods than exporting worldwide.

- What are some interesting things that you learned or things that surprised you in part 1 of the documentary?

That thirteen out of fourteen tamed mammals came from the same region, with such unexpected discrepancy in availability of domesticated species, no wonder were the origin of human beings commonly discerned as Asian and African. The presence of remaining descendants of the Papua New Guinea and their degree of development also astonished me.
