This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is one of the most important and humane works of popular science.
Jared Diamond is Professor of Physiology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Trained in physiology, he later took up the study of ecology and has made fundamental contributions to both disciplines. He is among the worlds leading zoologists and experts on birds. He has made many trips to the mountains of New Guinea to study their unique birds, rediscovered their long-lost bowerbird, and advises New Guinea governments on conservation. As well as writing technical articles in his many fields of interest, Jared Diamond writes regularly for popular science journals. He is married, and has twin sons.
作者自己一句話總結:“History followed different courses for different peoples because of differences among peoples' environments, not because of biological differences among peoples themselves.” 這種通過把社會科學提齣的高低問題洋洋灑灑地平攤給自然科學的手段,不失為anti-Racism一法。配閤同獲普利策的另一哈佛人Wilson的《Sociobiology: The New Synthesis》風味更佳。

評分所以看這種外文學術小品一定要快,因為作者會把你當成三歲小孩兒來講。。
評分4.8分,有的人評價不高,說書中的關於人種的解釋沒有靠譜的。但我認為這並不能降低這本書的價值,這本巨著包括瞭很多學科的知識,當然會有錯誤,但更多是震撼的洞見。
作者的观点与黄仁宇的类似。 1环境差异决定了当时的历史选择,从而对后来事件产生了决定性的影响。 2 各大洲的环境是不同的,从而有了不同的机遇。 3亚欧大陆的横向轴线,非洲与美洲的纵向轴线,以及澳洲的独立,影响了传播。 4环境差异决定了当时的历史选择,从而对后来事...
評分零、 戴蒙德的专业是生物学和新几内亚人类学考察,除此之外写的都是科普书,而且前后重复(后面所有的书不过是扩写他的第一本书第三种猩猩而已),观点陈旧(他的人类学理论训练很可能停留在人类学2.0版本的反思民族志之前,因此习以为常地使用人类学1.0版本的西方中心论或东方...
