Description

“Fascinating…. Lays a foundation for working out human history.”―Bill Gates

On this “artful, informative, and delightful” (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the up to date world. Societies that had had a head get started in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, after which developed religion –in addition to nasty germs and potent weapons of war –and adventured on sea and land to overcome and decimate preliterate cultures. An important advance in our working out of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way in which that the up to date world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based totally theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California’s Gold Medal.
