Life In The Open

                             

                            Life in the open is hard for many people in different countries. From the forest of Nu Ginni to the middle east many people don't have the crops and proper storage for food. They have learned how to survive with the things surrounding them. Many small villages have people called hunter gatherers and they bust their butts to get up everyday and search for eatable food for themselves and their village in order to survive. Whereas people like us don't have to find food because it is already there for us. In the rain forest of Nu Ginni, they have a tree called wild Sago and in that tree the people of Nu Ginni found out that they could make eatable dough out of the inside of the tree. In some parts of the world a better food source than Sago is Barley and Wheat because of the nutrition. After the Ice Age many of these people had to migrate to different land because the food supply had gone down in the middle east. Nu Ginni had the hardest time of all because when you are growing Sago you have to plant 1 at a time instead of just throwing seeds into the ground, watering them then just watching them grow allot.

                           

                             About 11 thousand years ago there used to be a small village that was found berried under Draa, which is an area located near the Dead Sea, where scientist found which looked to be the worlds first granary. The granary that was created was to store food and protect the food from animals, and minerals that might be blown in from the wind. That is when we first really started being human beings rather than just humans who didn't care what was on our food and where we laid it or trying to figure out where to store the food they have left over. Sooner or later some of the people found out that in some places they could control the growth of their crops. They realized that they didn't need to keep hunting for food and constantly move in order to find what they needed to survive.

                             They first farmers in the world were from the middle east. The second farmers were from China were they inherited the growth of corn. Then Africa came into the picture, growing many different crops for food.
