Guns, Germs, And Steel Introduction “Guns, Germs, and Steel” is a fascinating and enlightening book to read. I enjoyed reading this book, but don’t become confused that I agree with everything that is written in this book. The author, Jared Diamond wrote this book in response to a questioned presented to him by a politician named Yali in New Guinea. The question was, “Why is it that you white people develop so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people had little cargo of our own'” Diamond attempts to answer this question in this book. In this book he comes to the conclusion that the rise of agricultural, centralized governments, geography, and animal domestication all played a part in the reason why some countries came to be more powerful than others. He has to trace human roots all the way back to when they first evolved. He runs into problems because some of the weakest countries were one of the first to evolved, but why' Simple Answer Jared Diamond summarizes his book, and answer to Yali’s question into one simple sentence; “History followed different courses for different peoples because differences among people’s environment’s…” (Pg 25).
