In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal. 賈雷德·戴蒙德，加利福尼亞大學洛杉磯分校醫學院生理學教授以生理學開始其科學生涯，進而研究演化生物學和生物地理學，被選為美國藝術與科學院、國家科學院院士、美國哲學學會會員，曾獲得麥克阿瑟基金會研究員基金及全國地理學會伯爾獎，在《發現》、《博物學》、《自然》和《地理》雜誌上發表過論文200多篇。
