About the book
Why did some societies conquer others? In this seminal work, Jared Diamond examines how geographic and environmental factors shaped the development of peoples, explaining the rise of certain civilizations through the availability of domesticable plants, animals, and natural resources—not through biological or cultural superiority.
A work that redefines our understanding of human history, challenging traditional narratives and offering an innovative scientific perspective on the deep causes of global inequalities.
