Guns, Germs, And Steel

Jared Diamond discusses the fates of human societies by rejecting the western racist argument that less "civilized" societies are genetically inferior and arguing instead that groups that had the geographical advantage of having plants and animals available for domestication had distinct advantage. These advantages led to the guns, germs and steel that allowed for historical world conquests
