About this book

Different paths of development across continents are the central concern of Jared Diamond’s study of human societies. He seeks long-term explanations for those differences, tracing connections among food production, domesticated animals, disease, writing, technology and government. The account broadens its historical scope beyond familiar centers of power to consider societies across the globe.

Jared Diamond

Diamond trained in physiology and spent decades doing bird fieldwork in New Guinea, and a question a New Guinean politician put to him there, about why Europeans ended up with so much cargo, is what Guns, Germs, and Steel spends five hundred pages answering.
