《Guns,Germs and Steel》—吕超琦

《Guns,Germs and Steel》is a historical book by Jared Diamond, which attempts to provide "a brief history of all people in the last 13,000 years", but does not just describe the history of the past; It seeks to explain why Eurasian civilizations eventually survived and triumphed over other civilizations, while refuting that Eurasian hegemony was due to Eurasian intellectual or moral superiority. Diamond argues that differences in rights and technology in human society do not reflect cultural or racial differences, but rather environmental differences that are strongly amplified by different positive feedback loops.
