Based on Jared Diamond's Pulitzer Prize-winning book of the same
name, Guns, Germs and Steel traces humanity's journey over the
last 13,000 years – from the dawn of farming at the end of the
last Ice Age to the realities of life in the twenty-first century.
Inspired by a question put to him on the island of Papua New
Guinea more than thirty years ago, Diamond embarks on a world-
wide quest to understand the roots of global inequality.
Why were Europeans the ones to conquer so much of our planet?
Why didn't the Chinese, or the Inca, become masters of the globe
instead?
Why did cities first evolve in the Middle East?
Why did farming never emerge in Australia?
And why are the tropics now the capital of global poverty?
