In Guns, Germs, and Steel, Part I, Diamond argues that as the Fertile Crescent turned to desert, some of its peoples migrated into Europe taking with them plants and animals from the Middle East. O True O False

True! In "Guns, Germs, and Steel," Jared Diamond discusses how environmental changes, such as the desiccation of the Fertile Crescent, prompted migrations in search of more hospitable lands. The peoples who moved from this region into Europe brought essential domesticated plants and animals, which played a crucial role in the agricultural evolution of the continent, paving the way for future civilizations. This migration also influenced the development of societies. As people settled in new areas, they adapted their agricultural techniques and cultivated different crops, leading to diverse regional cultures. The sharing of agricultural knowledge and resources across these migrations significantly shaped the economic and social structures of early European civilizations.
