Title: A great peek at modern intellectual bankruptcy
Review: I've yet to read a more thoroughly biased and intellectually repugnant book. Diamond bathes in anything that can support his ridiculous hypotheses, ignoring the overwhelming evidence that does not. For instance, he expects his ignorant readers to assume that sub-Saharan Africa had no domesticatable animals and plants, something that almost made me fall out of my chair with laughter. Sub-Saharan Africans live in richest area of the planet, from minerals to fauna! The entire region is teaming with multitudes of plants and animals that would be easily domesticated: sorghum, millet, yams, and rice; guinea fowl, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests.On the plus side, though, I must admit the book makes a great coaster.
