Guns, Germs and Steel
1997 book by Jared Diamond / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guns, Germs and Steel is a 1997 book by Jared Diamond about the history of humans.
The book is about why some humans societies (from small tribes to big countries) were able to use more inventions and conquer (take over) others. Diamond thinks that the answer is because of geography and not because of differences in the people themselves. The book deals with many topics like history, geography, biology, anthropology and sociology.
In 2005, a TV program was made about the book's ideas, with Diamond as the presenter. This was shown on PBS.
