Presentations

Today in West Civ we presented our power points that we had to do on the things associated with Guns, Germs and Steel. My group went first today so after that, these are my notes:

-Smallpox:

• contagious effected for 10,000 years.
• no cure
• Europeans brought the disease over by trade items.
• Symptoms: fever, discomfort, headache, back pain, vomiting
• Transmission: directly from infected person
• Emergency: one case is treated greatly and you are isolated

Writing:

• Evolved about 50,000 years ago
• Called cuneiform
• used to writing stories

We didn't get to far in the presentations but the test on the video is Tuesday.
