Guns, Germs, and Steel

The movie Guns, Germs, and Steel is about hundreds of Conquistadors came in and killed Native Americans with guns, germs, and steel. Jared Diamond a professor at UCLA tries to figure out how this shaped the history of the United States. His journey started in Papua Newguinea, hes real passion is studying birds and is a professor in Los Angeles. Over the years hes gotten to know the Newguineans and learns their languages and also studies birds together. Cargo is said for the meaning of goods once brought for the western white man. The Newguineans can go out into the wilderness with nothing, make a shelter within a few hours and survive. They cant log onto computers but that does not mean they aren't as smart as us.
