À propos de cet audio

Pulitzer Prize Winner, General Nonfiction, 1998

In this groundbreaking work, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for history's broadest patterns. It is a story that spans 13,000 years of human history, beginning when Stone Age hunter-gatherers constituted the entire human population. Guns, Germs, and Steel is a world history that really is a history of all the world's peoples, a unified narrative of human life.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The scope and explanatory power of this book are astounding." (The New Yorker)

"Guns, Germs, and Steel is an artful, informative, and delightful book....There is nothing like a radically new angle of vision for bringing out unsuspected dimensions of a subject." (The New York Review of Books)

Les plus pertinents

This was pretty interesting. I’m not sure why it’s called Guns Germs and Steel when the vast majority of it seemed to be about domesticating plants and animals.

Overall it had lots of good nuggets and things to ponder. My main critique is that it’s pretty woke and takes all personal responsibility or agency off the people who inhabited underdeveloped areas.

I think it’s reasonable to describe the factors that were out of their hands while still exploring why they personally were unable to modernize like Europeans were.
