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.

几个月的时间慢慢读完，刷新了世界观（Literally). 这就是最好的科普书，有理论，有证据，但是写作风格平易近人，没有科学基础的人看起来也不会吃力。因为这本书的研究实在太过根本，即使明白了缺陷，人类社会能摆脱几千几百万年的环境历史积累起来的枷锁吗？
评分4.5
评分History has its victors and victims, of course, and Diamond's account of how those victims became victims is not inviting to both sides. On the side of victors, he underrates their cultural autonomy，and on the side of victims, he offers them an inevitable and miserable destiny.
评分对于guns，germs and steel，本书特点在于探讨为何，而不是如何
