Why has human history developed so differently across the world? What can it teach us about our current crisis? Jared Diamond argues that geography and biogeography, not race, shaped the diverging fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, Sub-Saharan Africans, and Aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology, and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is an innovative and humanitarian work of popular science that can provide specialized knowledge for our modern world.
"The most gripping narrative about the emergence of a world divided between rich and poor... Never has it been presented in such a coherent way, with a combination of experience, charm, and compassion" - The Times
