Oh, culture...

So this will be a rather short post. I don't have much to say on the topic of Guns, Germs, and Steel. I found the idea of geography driving cultural differences and evolution interesting, and I think the point has some validity. I don't know that I'd say geography is the only thing, but hey. I'm not one who's studied this extensively. I'd say the short nature of this post is due mainly to the fact that I am filled not with reflections about our rather shortened class last week, but anticipation of our discussions to come. Where will we go with cultural evolution? What different things will we learn about each other and our histories? Cultural diversity is one thing I looked forward to about Bryn Mawr as a whole, so I'm excited to begin our conversation.
