A summary of Guns, Germs, and Steel (Jared Diamond) and why it is so relevant in 2020.

In this video I discuss one of my favorite books of all time, “Guns, Germs, and Steel” (by UCLA professor Jared Diamond). I summarize all the main themes and themes of the book and I also talk about why it is still so relevant to our works today in 2020, as an alternative to not only long discredited theories of the past, but also many of the academic theories that have become popular in the mainstream over the past few years.
