Guns, Germs and Steel - The Fates of Human Societies by Stephen Jay Gould |
An interesting survey of 10,000 years of development of human societies in different parts of the world and the effect of the environment on the type and speed of development. It explains why Europeans conquered the Americas and not the other way around. Numerous examples bring a new perspective to modern life and contribute to demolish racist theories.
