/ Constructing the development trajectory of human civilization and analyzing the origins of social inequality

The current situation of the world today was actually decided thirteen thousand years ago.
Judd. Dimon made an important reminder: The huge differences in societies and cultures across continents are not in biological genes themselves, but in environmental differences. He tried to explore the key to dominating human society and believed that the inequality of "natural resources" across continents was the main reason for the current gap in the development of social civilization. From the author's thinking for more than thirty years, this book not only explains why "guns, germs, and steel" have become weapons for the expansion of civilization and ethnic struggle, but also explains why geographical environmental conditions are sufficient to determine the historical destiny of mankind.
