Book Review :: Guns Germs and Steel



I read a book by Jared Diamond
Now a precious book to me
A lot of history interpreted
Using paleobotany and geography

 How can the contintent's
orientation across latitude,
determine how crops spread?
How did climate change
determine the paths
people would tread?

Why was it that Europeans
who attacked with
Guns,  Germs and Steel?
Why Inca and Aztecs didnt
"discover" Europe,
plunder it and steal?

Why African tribes didnt
have legions of zebra ridding warriors?
Why do we still not raise deers?

Why the hippos and rhinos
in battles not have a say?
Simple reasons but I never thought
about if before today!!

If you want the answers
You can Google it too
But to get the bigger picture
I will recommend this book to you
