内容简介
· · · · · ·
This book answers the most obvious, the most important, yet the most difficult question about human history: why history unfolded so differently on different continents. Geography and biography, not race, moulded the contrasting fates of Europeans, Asians, Native Americans, sub-Saharan Africans, and aboriginal Australians. An ambitious synthesis of history, biology, ecology and linguistics, Guns, Germs and Steel is one of the most important and humane works of popular science.

评论 ······
宏观视角下看人类的历史，理解所处的特定环境，分析人类万年演化，有考古事实，有推理论证，最后结论不言自愈。精彩！中国部分仅仅十多页，有点嗟叹。在我们感慨大国崛起的时候，得摆正我们在历史，在地球的位置。我们还有很长的路要走。
听闻已久一直想读的书。在印度的时候去二手书店找这本书，隐约记得书名和枪炮细菌有关，于是问店员，有无一本书叫做“Guns, rose and bacteria”?店员竟然当即指正说，是“Guns Germs and Steel”并马上告知具体位置，极为专业。
没看出啥逻辑谬误啊，四星半吧，找问题交给大家了~~索性可读性很强。
挺無聊的書
