Guns, Germs, and Steel

Introduction

Why the life is not reasonable at all here? This is a question which has been raised since 1500 by the Europeans. Jared Diamond elaborates the rationale behind this philosophy in his book named as Guns, Germs, and Steel that why it happens, why the things work out like this. It is a constituent question since so long. Definitely, Diamond is not the first person who raised this question but everyone wants to know the reason behind it. For this purpose, Diamond performed a service which was relied on scientific truths rather than the false and hollow theories held by European's inheritance. Diamond who was a UCLA physiologist, suggested about the geography of Eurasia that it is a land of farming, the land is suitable for the animal's domestication, the land where the information must be freely flowed with no barriers. He said that the more complex and multifaceted type of communication and government is a result of development of more densely inhabited cultures. This thing also increases resistance to diseases. According to him, it is a fact that Europe connected with the power to make use of a competitive advantage of innovation and creativity to extent through which the China was incapable. Like, the gunpowder to create guns was invented by China but Europeans used that invention. The book of Diamond is a complex and overwhelming. This book basically describes methodology which examines the positive feedback loop of farming, animal's domestication, population and after that innovation etc. He wrote about the global history of Guns, Germs and Steel without biasness.
