Synopsis

A groundbreaking exploration of why certain civilizations conquered others, examining how geography, agriculture, and technology shaped the modern world rather than racial or cultural superiority. Jared Diamond traces 13,000 years of human history across continents to reveal how environmental differences gave some societies decisive advantages in developing guns, germs, and steel. This Pulitzer Prize-winning work fundamentally challenges our understanding of human inequality and the forces that created today's global power structures.
