Review for the Test

Today in Human Geography we reviewed for the test we'll have on Friday. Here are some of my notes:

Animals that are ideal for domestication need to weight over 100 pounds, reproduce in their first and second year, and behave well will humans.
Elephants aren't ideal for domestication because they don't mature and give birth until they are about 15 years old.
Zebras are too flighty for domestication.

goats

Only one of the fourteen came from South Africa
The rest cam from Eurasia

*The Middle East thrived so well because geographic luck: they had pigs, cows, sheep, goats, wheat, and barley.

Things Civilizations Need to Thrive and Progress

People live like it's the stone age in Papua New Guinea
Drah, Mesopotamia was where the first known village was.
