Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Sciences
A bestselling phenomenon, Guns, Germs, and Steel is a global account of the rise of civilization, and at the same time a stunning refutation of the ideas surrounding human development based on race.
A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history.
"Artful, informative, and delightful. There is nothing like a radically new angle of vision for bringing out unsuspected dimensions of a subject, and that is what Jared Diamond has done." -- New York Review of Books
