Jim's Review
🐛
This book tunneled straight into Jim's brain and rewired everything. Diamond makes a bulletproof case that geography is destiny — it's not about who's smarter, it's about who had the best wheat and livestock. Some chapters get deep into the dirt (literally — Jim felt right at home), and by the end you'll see human history through completely different eyes. A must-read for any curious bookworm.
