Summarize Diamond’s discussion (chapters 7 & 8) of the Greenland Norse

Please answer one of the  the following questions:

1. Summarize Diamond’s discussion (chapters 7 & 8) of the Greenland Norse. Identify the biological (e.g. weather patterns, geology of Greenland, etc.) and the social (e.g. religion, relationships with neighbors, etc.) that led to the collapse of Greenland Norse society. Compare/contrast this with the experience of Iceland (chapter 6). What do the experiences of Greenland and Iceland have to teach the US, if anything? Please be thorough in your answer, define pertinent terms, provide examples.
2. Provide a summary of Malthus’ theory, its strengths and limitations. Summarize Diamond’s discussion of Malthus via the Rwanda genocide. What do you think? Is Malthus right? Is he partially right? If so/not, please explain. Be thorough in your answer, define pertinent terms, provide examples.
3. Describe and give examples of “top-down” and “bottom-up” paths to success, according to Diamond. Be thorough and provide examples from the readings. Which pathway do you think makes the most sense and why? Again, be specific and provide examples.
