Blog 3 Guns Germs and Steel

Guns Germs and Steel was published in 1997 by Jared Diamond. This book greatly describes the last 13,000 years of humans. However the main purpose of this book is to explain, why Eurasian civilizations were able to prosper and conquer many civilizations. Diamond refuses to belief that Eurasians were genetically superior, or more intelligent that any other civilizations. Throughout the book Diamond explains why he believes Eurasians were able to produce technologies faster than any other civilizations. In a very broad explanation, Diamond believes Eurasians were able to prosper because they had "Guns Germs and Steel." This book is very well written and will teach the reader many things about history. This book is a must read.
