Guns, Germs, and Steal: The Fates of Societies by Jared Diamond

Guns, Germs, an Steal was so popular that it was made into a movie because a guy thought it was so important. This book was written in 1997 by Jared Diamond. The book attempts to explain why Eurasian civilizations have survived and conquered others. The book won the Pulitzer prize for general non-fiction and the Aventis Prize for being the Best Science Book. This book is also a multi-million dollar seller. After reading this book, some people agree with him on what he wrote but others think he is completely wrong. the book also covers some things on environmental differences. These environmental differences include the difference between Papua New Guina and some societies here in the United States. This book is definitely worth reading about.
