The people of Papua New Guinea have been living there for over forty thousand years, longer than anyone in North America. There they are very poor, and a man named Yali asked " Why do you white men have so much cargo and why do New Guineans have so little?" and there Power was defined by race. This question made him think and go back and think about what all great civilizations have had such as advanced technology, large populations,and a well organized work force. thirteen thousand years ago everyone were hunter and gatherers like in Papua New Guinea people re still living in a hunter gatherer lives. They live by gathering Sago which is a sugar type substance with no protein.
