Guns, Germs, and Steel
Guns, Germs, and Steel, 1997 Pulitzer Prize winner, challenges the overbearing Western view of human progress and helps us understand how the modern world and its inequalities came to be. 13,000 years ago, the evolution of different human societies began to take different paths. The early domestication of animals and cultivation of wild plants in the Fertile Crescent, China, Mesoamerica, and other geographical areas gave an initial advantage to their inhabitants. However, the localized origins of agriculture and animal husbandry are only part of the explanation for the different destinies of peoples. Societies that overcame this hunter-gatherer phase were more likely to develop, survive, and possess military power. Review: |
