Prologue
“In the prologue, the author displays his work in the country of New Guinea. The people that lived in New Guinea questioned him about why the “whites” always seemed more dominant.

During this conquest, Pizarro had the advantage. They had many advantages over the Incans because they had powerful weapons such as horses with armor, cannons, steel, and guns. They led with a powerful advantage with diseases. The people who were originally living there were never exposed to these diseases such as smallpox. They did not have the immune system to fight off these diseases. It slowly killed a significant amount of the population. Other natives tried to defend their land but many did not have what it took.”
Chapter 4
“Food production led to the advancements of many people around the world. The author describes food production as the domestication of animals and deriving plants for the benefits for the human use. Due to food production, populations also started to grow. People were using increased crops to make money, cows for their milk, and other animals for transportation.”

Chapter 11
“Chapter 11 shows the powers of diseases and where they came from. Diseases were spread from domesticated and wild animals. Every disease had their own symptoms and their way of spreading. It leaves many with severe illness and the people who survive it become immune to it. They are able to spread the disease by sneezing, coughing, etc. The disease differs depending on what animal it is coming from. Diseases wiped out a significant amount of the population, more than weapons or combat.”
Chapter 12
“Chapter 12 describes how writing emerged. The idea of writing appeared in Southwest Asia first and started to spread. As people were discovering writing, many just copied the writings and used blueprints. The Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans all contributed to the language. They all brought a part to the development of it. It became an advantage to the higher class societies as they used it for their own purposes. There were several lower class societies who never experienced the writing language.”
