Editor’s note American geographer and physiologist who writes big-picture histories of humankind. Guns, Germs, and Steel, which won the Pulitzer Prize and is by far his most read book, argues that geography, crops and domesticable animals, not any difference between peoples, explain why Eurasian societies came to conquer others; many historians and anthropologists dispute how far it goes. The Third Chimpanzee, on human evolution, rates a little higher.
