The Fates of Human Societies
Book • 1991
In this book, Jared Diamond explains why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered others.
He argues that differences in societal development arise primarily from geographical causes.
The book details how agricultural societies developed immunities to deadly diseases, advanced in technology, and formed centralized political structures, ultimately leading to the conquest of other societies.
Diamond also discusses the impact of germs, domesticated animals, and environmental factors on human history[2][4][5].
