Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" is a brilliant work answering the question of why the peoples of certain continents succeeded in invading other continents and conquering or displacing their peoples. This edition includes a new chapter on Japan and all-new illustrations drawn from the television series. Until around 11,000 BC, all peoples were still Stone Age hunter/gatherers. At that point, a great divide occurred in the rates that human societies evolved. In Eurasia, parts of the Americas, and Africa, farming became the prevailing mode of existence when indigenous wild plants and animals were domesticated by prehistoric planters and herders. As Jared Diamond vividly reveals, the very people who gained a head start in producing food would collide with preliterate cultures, shaping the modern world through conquest, displacement, and genocide.The paths that lead from scattered centers of food to broad bands of settlement had a great deal to do with climate and geography. But how did differences in societies arise? Why weren't native Australians, Americans, or Africans the ones to colonize Europe? Diamond dismantles pernicious racial theories tracing societal differences to biological differences. He assembles convincing evidence linking germs to domestication of animals, germs that Eurasians then spread in epidemic proportions in their voyages of discovery. In its sweep, "Guns, Germs and Steel" encompasses the rise of agriculture, technology, writing, government, and religion, providing a unifying theory of human history as intriguing as the histories of dinosaurs and glaciers.

读后感
尽管anthropology在国外很多学院已有上百年历史，人类学在国内似乎还是一个很年轻的词语，相关的中文书籍也不是很多，Jared Diamond的这本普利策获奖作品不失为了解这一领域的一扇大门。 除了文字的记录，考古的发掘，其实还可以从许多角度审视历史，不同的方法，变幻的尺度，...
评分用户评价
读了很久，以至于读到后面忘了前面在说什么。
评分对人类历史的理解又多了一个维度
评分An overrated history book with plenty of factual mistakes and logical fallacies
评分农作物与家畜，人口的稠密程度，地理环境的影响，新技术的扩散容易程度，病菌所引起的各种疾病的影响等。由上，对比了不同地区的发展情况，以及所导致的人类历史进程。
评分写得太好了！逻辑非常清晰：欧亚大陆的居民因优厚的自然环境而率先发明了农业，进而有富余的食物提供给不从事农业生产的专业人士，如工匠、士兵和官僚，还在与家畜的接触中拥有了对诸多病菌的免疫力，最终让欧亚大陆在面对美洲、大洋洲和撒哈拉以南的非洲的原住民时无往不利，让从欧亚大陆发源的文明与其后裔成为了当今世界的主宰。所谓老天爷赏饭吃，就是如此了。#推荐给所有地理爱好者
