Where Did It All Come From?

People in Africa-Eurasia do all sorts of jobs! Some farm the land to grow food, others build big cities with tall buildings. Many people work in factories making things we use every day. Because it’s so big, there are many different languages spoken and lots of unique traditions and foods to discover. It’s a world of its own!
