Before I start typing I need to say two things. One this blog may suck because I have a migraine so I can't focus. Two Mr. Schick you need to change your blog title from Human Geo 2012 to Human Geo 2013. Your welcome.
Jared Diamond is a American professor of geography at the University of Los Angeles. He wrote two books and they are Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed and Guns, Germs and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. He has won awards on these books. He has received the genius award. He does researches such as Asia and Europe are more advances in the field of technology. He has been to lots of expeditions Papua New Guinea. He is environmental friendly. He speaks to the natives in their language. He studies the evolution of birds which is a study that has been uncovered. He is a best selling author as well.
Guns, Germs and Steel is a book that explains why Eurasian civilizations and Northern Africa conquered and survived Diamond argues that the holes in power and technology between human societies begin in environmental disagreements, which are produced by lots positive feedback loops. Weapons made the outnumbered civilizations win over the much larger armies. The first part explains that some of the civilizations have advanced while others have not. Some just would not advance technology wise with new weaponry, protection and tools. Some had to work harder because some people and dynasties were at a land that need to be fertilized. With the bigger ones there crops grew automatically and they were able to get money and trade better with more crops.
Your Welcome!
