Description:

An evolutionary biologist dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors he feels are responsible for history's broadest patterns. Read by Grover Gardner.

Selected Reviews:

"[Diamond's] masterful synthesis is a refreshingly unconventional history informed by anthropology, behavioral ecology, linguistics, epidemiology, archeology and technological development."

--Publishers Weekly
