            Was Jared Diamond on track with his theory of “geographic luck”? Yes, Jared Diamond was on track with his theory of “geographic luck”. It is a known fact that all civilizations began as a hunter-gather society, but after that, geographic luck occurred more often in some places. Jared Diamond said the Fertile Crescent was one of the main reasons why the people their succeeded. Southwestern Asia and Northeast Africa has sections located in the Fertile Crescent. Ever since the beginning of the very first advancement in technology, stronger stone weapons, occurred in Southwestern Asia and Northeast Africa. The Fertile Crescent produced great farming land and land for raising livestock. As the book says, Southwestern Asia became covered with fertile soil, a mild climate, and good water supplies, all of these things are necessary of growth of animals and crops. Tropical Asia (location of Papua New Guinea) would have had a tropical climate, not as many plants would grow, the soil in Papua New Guinea is hilly which is bad for growing plants and raising animals. As Jared Diamonds theory suggests, because of all of the new animals and crops, civilizations were allowed to prosper. More babies were born (bigger villages and more jobs to be created), families own wealth and status developed within the communities, and there was an increase of food. The increase of food was important because if an ice age or some other catastrophe occurred, the villages would be able to live. Lastly, as the book states, Western civilizations directly descended from Southwest Asia and Northeast Africa, home of the Fertile Crescent.
