Diamond states that lack of any characteristic “dooms efforts at domestication.” The Anna Karenina

Jared Diamond asked, “Why were Europeans, rather that Africans or Native Americans, the ones to end up with guns, the nastiest germs, and steel” in his book Guns, Germs, and Steel. The world’s inequality started thousands of years ago about 10,000 years. Why was Europe so much more advanced than Papua New Guinea long ago? Inequality isn’t just about some countries don't have technology like cell phones or computers, inequality also covers how some countries don't have three meals a day, some families

Guns, Germs and Steel by Jared Diamond Prologue 1. Summarize Yali’s question. This requires mentioning race, intelligence, and development of technology.  Yali asks "why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own?" What Yali is asking is about the origins of inequality between countries and societies in the world.  He wants to know why people of European descent are rich and powerful while people like him

The earliest stages of human evolution took place in Africa with abundant of fossil evidence to prove. We all originated in Africa around 7 million years age. Our closet common ancestor living are called the surviving species of the great apes that are chimpanzee, bonobo, and gorilla. But the most closets animal to humans are chimpanzee. The homo erectus was significantly close

Germs and Steel” by Jared Diamond, Part Two talks about the roots of guns, germs, and steel, geographical differences relating to food production, causes of the spread of food production, development of ancient crops that are still used today, and domestication. Jared Diamond mostly likes to talk about the development of the Eurasian society and why they are more powerful. Instead of proximate causes that get straight to the point, he takes a different route that leads to ultimate causes. Ultimate causes
