Societies that developed in regions with fertile land for farming and that had domesticable plants and animals were able to progress more quickly, thereby creating the tools to conquer preliterate cultures.   Drawing on a variety of disciplines—from linguistics, genetics, and epidemiology to biology, anthropology, and technology— Guns, Germs, and Steel offers an eloquently argued view of the development of human societies.   The summary and analysis in this ebook are intended to complement your reading experience and bring you closer to a great work of nonfiction.
