13,000 years ago, the evolution of different human societies began to take different paths. The early domestication of animals and the cultivation of wild plants in the Fertile Crescent, China, Mesoamerica and other geographical areas gave their inhabitants an initial advantage. However, the localized origins of agriculture and animal husbandry are only part of the explanation for the different destinies of peoples. Societies that survived this hunter-gatherer phase found themselves more likely to develop, survive and be powerful in war. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Guns, Germs and Steel challenges the arrogant Western view of human progress and helps us understand how the modern world and its inequalities came to be as they are.
Jared Diamond is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Guns, Germs, and Steel, which was named one of TIME’s best non-fiction books of all time, the number one international bestseller Collapse and most recently The World Until Yesterday. A professor of geography at UCLA and noted polymath, Diamond’s work has been influential in the fields of anthropology, biology, ornithology, ecology and history, among others.
