Description
Jared Diamond – Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies
Until around 11,000 B.C., all human societies lived as hunters and gatherers. But over time, some groups began advancing at very different rates. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, agriculture became the dominant way of life—eventually leading to massive shifts in power. Societies with early advantages in food production went on to conquer, displace, or wipe out others, shaping the modern world through colonization, expansion, and genocide. But why did history unfold this way? Why didn’t Indigenous Australians, Native Americans, or Africans colonize Europe? Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Guns, Germs, and Steel explores the evolution of agriculture, technology, writing, state systems, and religion. Jared Diamond offers a sweeping theory of human history—one that’s as compelling as the stories of dinosaurs or ice ages.
