>I'll disprove biological determinism by postponing the conclusion
It is inadvertently a decent book because it's a short jump from environmental determinism to biological determinism.
Also zebras can be domesticated, so can water buffalo, elephants too.
Spaniards constructed seafaring ships from the wood in the Andes and Yucatán.
China has enough archipelagos to stage a successful revolution.
It's unprovable and unfalsifiable to try and explain away political advancement as the result of geographic location.
Greeks despite being isolated developed beyond everyone. The Middle East despite being the crossroads of the world regressed so far back its stuck in the Middle Ages.

I went to school in the SF Bay Area and we had a 2 month unit in which we watched the film multiple times, rewatched excerpts at home for Homework, and some of the stock worksheet questions were along the lines of "Who brought the germs to South America?" "If not for their inherent desire for violence and thus creation of steel, would the white man really be worth anything?" This was like 9th grade.

>>138927379
Exactly. His argument wasn't that white people couldn't, it was that he, himself, could not survive in the jungle. He's a fucking faggot.

Diamond oversimplifies the situation, but it's a fact that harsher environments led to Europeans being more thoroughly bred by natural selection.

They think that argument shuts us down but all it says is why White people exist and where we came from.

well whatever happen, it was a really good run. Europe had the world by the balls for a good long time.

whitey was a violent meanie who needed stronger metal to kill his fellow white man, but then eventually realized his steel forged in the hatred and blood of the innocent was better than the niggers' so decided to oppress them instead. also we brought germs from the planet xenu

>>138926323
Propaganda that conforms to the leftist cultural Marxist belief system that Western civilization and white people are evil and that brown and black people would be living in paradise if it wasn't for us. Therefore one must believe that white people are not superior but that other explanation must exist for why we conquered the world, invented everything, went to the moon and created the greatest societies.

It's a reaction to the common belief in times before that the white man is inherently superior. Attacking this belief is the foundation of the leftist belief system, largely driven by Jewish intellectual movements. Jared Diamond is, of course, a Jew.

>"The only reason whites are successful is because Europe is the only place that can sustain Civilzation..... also the middle east, africa, asia and the americas can also support civilization"

>He repeats that the middle east and china had civilization first, and many advantages Europe didn't

What?

If I was going to argue i'd state

>China united, was mostly peaceful and didn't need to invent or advance beyond an experiment with gunpowder to kick out the mongols

>The Middle east was to focused on religion, invading it's neighbours and itself and screwing over Europe

>Europe had to find ways to get past the Ottoman blockade of European Silk trade to the East and constant invasions. Lead to them developing better ships and machines to improve cloth work.

>The Americans were to violent to sustain stable civilzation, after a generation or two of great leaders their cultures kept collapsing into violence

But then blaming middle eastern greed on the success of Europe isn't a popular opinion.

>China putting way to much power into the hands of the Monarch, allowing the Emperor to destroy their own Navy and stop all foreign trade and exploration

>Africa culture never encourages team work or a larger group then an immediate family. One powerful ruler may unite warring tribes for a few decades but soon after his death they have no loyalty to each other and go back to infighting

>Farming, what you need for long term stability never spread far south into Africa because farms are such easy targets for raiding. And raiding is 'easier' then farming yourself. Africans themselves did everything possible to deny civilizations rise on their own continent thousands of years before the Portugese sailed around their continent.

well it was written in the late 90s

Geneticist by training. Sub-Sarah africans have the most diverse genomes of any group. Basically one tribe left (possibly albinos due to ancient racism/bullying, and everyone else descended from them

Like anything this book is a tool to build on, and I think its decently written. It explains a lot of things well, but glosses over others.

It best describes new v. Old world

Sub saharah is a different story I havnt the time to explain here.

check the graph guaging human genetic diversity. Guess who is non sub saharin and who IS sub saharin

the archaeological record provides valid arguments against all of his prehistoric and proto historic conclusions.
Diamond conveniently ignores archaeological evidence in favor of sociological speculation.
The rest is wishful thinking because there is no damn basis for his analysis of the historic era.

give me a point made in GGS and i'll show you with sources why this book is simply not well thought out. i'll throw in why sociology is trash as a bonus.

He misses the point that because Africa had everything all year round there was no need to plan for the future. There was always food available. Places with winters kill those that do not plan.

Even today this issue is seen in the actions of Africans. No concept of time. I think this is also caused by the lack of empathy. They can not see through other people's eyes or even the eyes of their future self.
