If you're hungering for a fresh perspective on how the world has been carved up across millennia, you just might devour "Guns, Germs, and Steel." It’s more than a history book; it's a narrative about the intrinsic forces that have shaped human societies. Jared Diamond takes you on a journey that spans from the Stone Age to modern times, challenging the conventional wisdom about social development and destiny that often leans on racial explanations. His biological lens on history is unique—it reframes our understanding in terms of environment and chance rather than inherent superiority.
