Jared Diamond
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.

Highly Intriguing

I found Diamond's analysis of the impact of geography on the development of societies particularly intriguing. He argues that the latitudes of different regions played a crucial role in determining which crops and animals could be domesticated. For example, the plants that were domesticated in South America could not be grown in other parts of the world due to the region's unique latitudes and large ranges of climates. Farming was unable to be spread with a smaller range from east to west than north to south, versus a more east-to-west Eurasian continent with more consistent climates.
It made me wonder how the world would be different if the latitudes of South America were laid out differently. Would different crops have been domesticated, and so, would societies in this region have developed differently? Diamond's book raises thought-provoking questions about the complex factors that contribute to the development of human societies.
