11 Switzerland, Poland and Greece ->

12 no worldwide colonial empires

13 Why?

14 England, France and Spain had A Ocean ports Atlantic Ocean

15 England, France and Spain had Atlantic Ocean ports Atlantic Ocean

16 Switzerland, Poland and Greece did not have Atlantic Ocean ports Atlantic Ocean

17 Case studies Australian aborigines

18 Case studies New Guineans

19 People arrived in both places at least 40,000 years ago

20 New Guineans and Australian aborigines are descended from the same group of nomadic people

21 Example of how geography (rather than genetics) influences society Australians

22 Found food and water, developed stone tools, created some of the world s oldest cave painting

23 Fast Forward to the 19th century Australians still using stone tools

24 Fast Forward to the 19th century Australians still using stone tools

25 Had not advanced much at all!

26 Had not advanced much at all! Why?

27 Why had Aborigines not advanced much? A) The people preferred to be hunter-gatherers B) They were not smart C) The environment was not suitable for agriculture D) They were lazy

28 Why had Aborigines not advanced much? A) The people preferred to be hunter-gatherers B) They were not smart C) The environment was not suitable for agriculture D) They were lazy

29 About 9,000 years ago

30 About 9,000 years ago Food production arose in New Guinea

31 New Guineans also started to acquire foreign exports = p and c from Asia

32 New Guineans also started to acquire foreign exports = pigs and c from Asia

33 New Guineans also started to acquire foreign exports = pigs and chickens from Asia

34 New Guineans also started to acquire foreign exports = pigs and chickens from Asia Agriculture in New Guinea promoted growth in population and population d

35 New Guineans also started to acquire foreign exports = pigs and chickens from Asia Agriculture in New Guinea promoted growth in population and population density

36 New Guineans also started to acquire foreign exports = pigs and chickens from Asia Agriculture in New Guinea promoted growth in population and population density >

37 > Larger, denser population led to social specialization

38 > Larger, denser population led to social specialization Some artists, craftsmen, scribes (writers) etc.

39 But, still several similarities New Guineans Australian aborigines Stone Tools Yes Yes Written language No Organized into chiefdoms? Organized into states? No No No

41 But, still several similarities New Guineans Australian aborigines Stone Tools Yes Yes Written language No No Organized into chiefdoms? Organized into states? No No No No

42 Why?

43 Why? 1) New Guineans had domesticated animals, but not big animals like oxen and horses, which could pull plows

44 Why? 1) New Guineans had domesticated animals, but not big animals like oxen and horses, which could pull plows =

45 Why? 1) New Guineans had domesticated animals, but not big animals like oxen and horses, which could pull plows = People had to do most of the work! >

46 Why? 1) New Guineans had domesticated animals, but not big animals like oxen and horses, which could pull plows > = less leisure time to specialize, experiment etc.

47 Why? 2) New Guinea had limited space for population g

48 Why? 2) New Guinea had limited space for population growth

49 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) =

50 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) = All farmers produced the same crops

51 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) = no agricultural s

52 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) = no agricultural specialization

53 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) = no exchange between different communities specializing in different crops

54 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) = less need for a chiefdom or s

55 Why? 3) Agriculture only within a specific area (not entire island) = less need for a chiefdom or state

56 New Guinea had limited agriculture - but Australia had n!

57 New Guinea had limited agriculture - but Australia had none!

58 Why did Australian aborigines not develop agriculture?

59 Why did Australian aborigines not develop agriculture? No dom large mammals

60 Why did Australian aborigines not develop agriculture? No domesticable large mammals

61 No agricultural potential -

62 No agricultural potential - its soil was d and infertile ( )

63 No agricultural potential - its soil was dry and infertile ( )

64

65 Irregular climate - many droughts ( )

66 Irregular climate - many droughts ( ) Small number of domesticable wild plants

67 Irregular climate - many droughts ( ) Small number of domesticable wild plants Result:

68 Irregular climate - many droughts ( ) Small number of domesticable wild plants Result: Hunter-gatherer culture was the natural adaptation to life in a place without agricultural potential

69 Australian Aborigines adapted to their surroundings

70 Australian Aborigines adapted to their surroundings They used all available natural resources

71 Australian Aborigines adapted to their surroundings They used all available natural resources In this sense, they re no different than the Mesopotamians

72 The difference is that the Mesopotamians had different natural resources Australia Mesopotamia

73 Why didn t Australia acquire advanced technologies from Indonesia or N G?

74 Why didn t Australia acquire advanced technologies from Indonesia or New Guinea?

75 Probably some interaction between New Guineans and aborigines

76 That part of Australia was isolated by d and mountains

77 That part of Australia was isolated by desert and mountains

78 That part of Australia was isolated by desert and mountains

79 Geographic barriers prevented major c diffusions from New Guinea spreading into Australia as a whole

80 Geographic barriers prevented major cultural diffusions from New Guinea spreading into Australia as a whole

81 1500 s

82 1500 s P explorers discovered New Guinea

83 1500 s Portuguese explorers discovered New Guinea

84 1500 s European colonists explored it

85 1500 s Europeans did not wipe out the indigenous ( / ) New Guinean population

86 1500 s Europeans did not wipe out the indigenous ( / ) New Guinean population

87 Europeans did not wipe out the indigenous ( / ) New Guinean population They did so in North and South A and Australia

88 Europeans did not wipe out the indigenous ( / ) New Guinean population They did so in North and South America and Australia

89 Why the difference? A) The people had strong resistance to diseases B) The people were very smart C) The environment allowed the people to hide in the mountains D) The people had good

90 Why the difference? A) The people had strong resistance to diseases B) The people were very smart C) The environment allowed the people to hide in the mountains D) The people had good medicine

92 Why the difference? A) The people had strong resistance to diseases B) The people were very smart C) The environment allowed the people to hide in the mountains D) The people had good medicine

93 New Guineans had experience around some domesticated animals

94 New Guineans had experience around some domesticated animals = Helped them develop some immunities to deadly diseases

95 Contact with Indonesians and Southeast Asians

96 Contact with Indonesians and Southeast Asians = Helped them develop some immunities to deadly diseases

97 Australian aborigines - no large mammals or domesticable animals

98 Australian aborigines - no large mammals or domesticable animals - never developed i

99 Australian aborigines - no large mammals or domesticable animals - never developed immunities

100 Australian aborigines - no large mammals or domesticable animals - never developed immunities = When Europeans came to Australia, European diseases caused large numbers of Aborigines to die

101 Result:

102 Result: Europeans settled Australia more easily than New Guinea

103 Result: Europeans settled Australia more easily than New Guinea Australia - much flatter and easier to navigate

104 New Guinea - mountainous, rugged, hard to navigate

105 New Guinea - mountainous, rugged, hard to navigate Australians - not carriers for many deadly diseases

106 New Guinea - mountainous, rugged, hard to navigate New Guinea - malaria and y fever ( )

107 New Guinea - mountainous, rugged, hard to navigate New Guinea - malaria and yellow fever ( )

108 Europeans brought crops with them from Europe (wheat and barley, etc.)

109 These crops didn t exist in Australia before but they were suitable for the land

110 These crops didn t exist in Australia before but they were suitable for the land = Europeans had incentive to c Australia and few biological or geographic barriers to doing so

111 These crops didn t exist in Australia before but they were suitable for the land = Europeans had incentive to colonize Australia and few biological or geographic barriers to doing so

112 Australian aborigines = geographically u

113 Australian aborigines = geographically unlucky

114 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky

115 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky No large domesticable a

116 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky No large domesticable animals

117 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky No large domesticable animals = No immunity to European diseases

118 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky No large domesticable animals = No immunity to European diseases No native crops suitable to the land

119 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky No large domesticable animals = No immunity to European diseases No native crops suitable to the land = No real a

120 Australian aborigines geographically unlucky No large domesticable animals = No immunity to European diseases No native crops suitable to the land = No real agriculture

121 Europeans who settled large parts of the world weren t better than other people

122 They just had some important geographic ad that multiplied over time

123 They just had some important geographic advantages that multiplied over time

124 They just had some important geographic advantages that multiplied over time
