PC propaganda ad nauseum Had this garbage been written by Jesse Jackson himself, it could not contain more easily disproven racist propaganda. Diamond's primary contention is that white people and western society have gained cultural and social dominance not as a result of any will or abilities of their own, but as a by product of how many domesticable animals and the variety of plant life that make up their environment. While other less fortunate societies didn't have these "luxuries" to take advantage of. Uh, excuse me, it doesn't take a genius to realize the botanical and zoological superiority of Africa for example. Off the top of my head, I can list several potentially demosticle species of large animals in Africa, Asia and Australia. How many can you think of in Europe? The really sad thing is, judging by its popularity and years on the bestseller lists, people are eating this stuff up. This guy obviously hates himself or has spent a little too much time in that New Guinea sun. This type of, I hate to say it, liberal drivel is sickening. There are explanations out there for why western society dominates that actually make sense. Guns, Germs, and Steel isn't one of them.
