China- Rice
America- Corn, sqaush, beans
Africa- Sorgum, millet, Yams
Papunewguinea- sago
If you want a good demostecated animal they shpuld be able to reproduce when they are 1 to 2 years old and have to eat plants
148 demestic animals that weigh over 100 pounds
Goats, Sheep, Pigs, Cows, Horses, Donkies, Camals, Water buffalo, llamas, raindeer, yaks, mithan, cattle

Today in Human Geo class we watched a video called Guns, Germs, And Steel and we also took notes on it.
Jared Diamond
Professor at UCLA
Specialiest in Human Geology
He is a bird watcher
Loves birds
Outside of Eden
Papuanewguinea ( Island nation between Asia and Austriala)
Jared met a guy named Yally, Yally asked him a question and said why do you have such more cargo then we do. Cargo means all your possessions. Jared did not know how to answer the question
Cultural Anthropologists
Cargo ( evidence of a white man)
Saw themselves as genetic superiour
Ian Kutt ( Notre Dame University)
All great civilations have advanced techonology, large population, well organized workforce
sago tree gives you a lot of supply of dough but is not very nutrious and goes bad very quickly
Barley and wheat ( middle east) are grains that you can store for a long time
Drah- Small village
granary- place to store grain
Domestication- cross pollinate things

Today in Human Geo class we continued with our notes.
The second Urban Revolution
A large scale of movement of people to cities to work in manufacturing.
Made possible by:
1. second agricultural revolution that improved food production and created a larger surplus
2. industrialization, which encouraged growth of citites near industrial resources
During the second half of the 20th century...
Nature of manufacturing changed and locations changed too. Many factories have been abandoned, creatig "rust belts" out of once thriving industrial districts
Houses in the Indus river were all the same size
Zones of the city
Central business district (CBD)
Central city ( the CBD and olderhousing zones)
Suburb ( outlying, functionally uniform zone outside of the central city)
Edge cities
Suburban downtowns, often located near key freeway intersections, often with
-office complexes
-shopping centers
-hotels
-restaurants
-entertainment facilities
-sport complexes
Making cities in the global core
redlining- financial institutions refasing to lead money in certain neighborhoods
Blockbusting- realtors purposefully sells home at a low price to an african american and white residents sold their homes at low prices, generated "white flights"

Today in Human geo class we continued with notes.
Two components enable the fprmation of cities
1. Anagricultural Surplus
2. Social Stratification
5 hearths of Urbanization
1. Mesopotamia (Iraq) 3,500 BCE
2. Nile river valley (egypt) 3,200 BCE
3. Indus river valley (India) 2,200 BCE
4. Huang He and Wei River valley (china) 1,500 BCE
5. Mesoamerica (central America) 200 BCE
Theocratic= Setteld around god = Mesoamerica
Diffusion Of Urbanization
The greek cities
By 500 BCE, Greeks were highly urbanized
-Network of more than 500 cities and towns
-On the mainland and on islands
-Each city had an acropolis and an agora
The roman cities
A system of cities and small towns, linked together woth hundreds of miles of roads and sea routes
-Sites of roman cities were typically for trade
-A roman city's Forum combined the acropolis and agora into one space
-Roman cities had extreme wealth and extreme poverty (between 1/3 and 2/3s of the empire's population was enslaved) Thats all we did in class today but today was my birthday and mr schick was nice enough to let the class sing happy birthday to me.

Today in human geo class we took notes on Urban Geograpghy
When and why did people start living in cities?
Cities
A city is a conglomeration of people and buildings clusterd together to serve as a center of politics, culture, and economics
Urban- The buildup of the central city and the suburban realm- the city and the surrounding environs connected to the city
Example #1
Shenzhen, China
The modern process of Urbanization- A rural are can become urbanized quite quickly in the modern world
Shenzhen changed from a fishing village to a major metropolitan area in just 25 years. 25 years ago all of this land was duck ponds and rice paddies
The first urban revolution
Before urbanization, people often clustered together in agricultural villages
Agricultural Villages- a relatively small, egalitarian village of where most of the population was involved in agriculture. About 10,000 years ago people began living in agricultural villages
That's all the notes we took today
