The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers provided more things such as, peas, lentils, sheep, pigs and goats. The Indus River also provided many other things like Vegetables, cotton, buffalo and fowl for the people. All these resources in all these areas are provided because they are located near to rivers. In order to grow crops or maintain nice cattle, you need a good water resource that will give water for the people living in the area. In page 15 you can see how

Cows are naturally herbivores and live on wild grass and other plants that grow in the areas they live. In fact most cattle are fed grass in “cow-calf” operations prior to being sent to feed lots. These natural grasses grow without any assistance from humans; so no added costs for seed, fertilizer, or processing. Grass fed beef is a higher quality product that takes only six more months to mature than corn fed beef. Our nation moves toward a demand for quality, healthy beef shown by an increase in sales for grass fed beef from local farmers and organic grocery stores.
Anthony Lane Roider Guns, Germs, and Steel Essay 2 A lesson on the spread of disease through animals would make a solid geography lesson based on Jared Diamond’s book. In Diamond’s book he focused a lot on the physical geography in the world that we live. He heavily researched mountain ranges and bodies of water that contributed to the development of some isolated civilizations. For example, Diamond had an argument that some continents that are easily traversable, like Europe, stimulated its development and encouraged trade among different people. In the Geography lesson, we would be able to study different continents features and be able to compare and contrast certain geographic features that make them unique and the features that could have lead to certain foods, germs, and “steel” that have developed there.
In Chapter 4, he explained why plant and animal domestication were important factors for the ability of Eurasians to produce the technologies that conquered the rest of the world. Diamond mentioned that a population that can produce more food could yield a higher population size. The majority of plant and animal material found on Earth is unpleasant-tasting, bitter, or lethal. When people manage the resources that the land produces, they can determine to breed the plants and animals that are the best available elements of food. Domestic animals like the cow, sheep, and goat are the major sources of fertilizer, meat, milk, and fuel for fires.
One of these excellent products is beef. Most of Costco’s beef is approved by the United States Department of Agriculture itself, meaning that it is of exceptional quality. Costco gets their steaks from cows in the Dakota Beef Company and their own farms. The Dakota Beef Company is known to have quality organic grass-fed beef. There are many “ranchers in the Dakota Beef program [that] are pioneers in the organic food movement and have been advocates of the need to treat cattle humanely, to reduce stress and to improve the quality of the beef they produce” (The Nibble).
The bog that Lindow man was found in, displayed evidence for human activity, due to the findings of pollen from cereals and land clearance weeds. Therefore, the body was placed in the bog at a time of vegetational change, signifying forestry clearing or farming. Lindow man’s society would have been agriculturally based, relying heavily on the quality of its harvest to survive, therefore, placing importance in pleasing their Gods, in order for their crops to be blessed with prosperity. Pagan societies would have shown reverence to their Gods, by ritual sacrifice, in hope to be blessed with successful harvest. Lindow mans pagan and agricultural society, and the period of climatic change during the time of his body’s placement within the bog, supports the argument that his death was a result of ritual sacrifice.
The cow’s cornea has many layers to make it thick and strong. When the cow is grazing, blades of grass may poke the cow’s eye— but the cornea protects the inner
The Aztec’s used the Chinampa way of farming which made them have highly productive gardens that not only let them farm the land but let them get the water that they used to grow the crop back. They were able to farm a lot of crops like sweet potatoes, maize [corn], tomatoes, avocados, beans, squashes and other plants. While what they call the lowland tropical crops such as papaya, cotton, cocoa were planted and harvested. * The crops that were planted were their main source of food they rarely hunted animals as
