About the book

Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel examines why different human societies developed at dramatically different rates. Diamond argues that geography, domesticated plants and animals, disease and environmental factors played crucial roles in shaping technological and political development. The book offers a broad interpretation of global history focused on long-term material conditions.
