Guns, Germs and Steel part 2

How did the movie compare the Middle East (Fertile Crescent) and New Guinea?
The movie compared the middle east and new guinea by saying New Guinea only used pigs as animals to help them farm while the middle east used cows, and goats. Also while i am talking about farming, when the middle east were farming, they just through grain/wheat and barley on the floor while in New Guinea, they dug a hole and planted their food.
Did one have more of an advantage than the other? What were the advantages?
I think that the Middle East had more of an advantage then New Guinea because the Middle East used animals to farm while they looked, gathered, and hunted for food. While New Guinea had to do all the work because pigs had no strength. so the people in New Guinea were more tired than the people in Middle East.

How did the advantages effect their lives and how they progressed through time?
The Middle Eastern people had more time to find food, plant food, and care for their family and community were more advanced in technology because they had time to do their own stuff so they were more social wherelse, in New Guinea they had no time for themselves because they had to farm, make clothing and much more all by themselves. therefore, the Middle Eastern people had more advantages than the New Guinea people. Now everyone in the world is more civilized than the middle Eastern people.
