Today in class we watched a video on youtube of a author/comedian who was doing a segment on prehistory, which is what we're learning now. The video was very interesting, and I enjoyed it, even though he talked a bit to fast. As well as watching the video, we had a discussion on the domestication of animals, mainly cows and chickens, and how they are raised in some atmospheres, compared to how they are raised in others. The part of the video that was interesting to me what when it said that in 15,000 years a humans went from hunting and gathering their necessites, to creating airplanes, the internet, and burgers, etc..that sparked my attention because i just find that amazing that we accomplished all those creations in a little amount of time. It's also weird to think that about 12,500 years ago people hand processed their own food, and now we have machines that do it for us. A word was brought up in the video and it is "palio-biology" and i didn't know what it meant, until Mr.Schick brought it to our attention, and it means how people lived in the pre-historic ages. Not to mention, it has "Palio" like paleolithic stone ages, which is the old stone ages. Next, instead of what i was used to saying, hunting and gathering, they used something different, forging and hunter. Forging was another name for gathering. Lastly, they touched up on the agriculture some more, and i found out and was refreshed about how llamas are the only domesticated animals native to the Americas. People needed it domesticate animals grains in order to produce alcohol, and one the seeds were planted, they automatically germinate.
