Hace trece mil anos la evolucion de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzo a tomar rumbos diferentes. La domesticacion de los animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en China, Mesoamerica y otras zonas geograficas otorgaron una ventaja inicial a los habitantes de esas regiones.

Sin embargo, los origenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganaderia son solo parte de la explicacion de los diferentes destinos de los pueblos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con mas posibilidades para desarrollar la escritura, la tecnologia o las estructuras politicas; ademas de sobrevivir a germenes nocivos y crear poderosas armas belicas.

En este libro, el profesor Jared Diamond demuestra que la diversidad cultural hunde sus raices en las diferencias geograficas, ecologicas y territoriales ligadas a cada caso concreto, y analiza como evoluciono la humanidad y por que unos pueblos avanzaron hacia la civilizacion mientras que otros se quedaron estancados.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"Fascinating.... Lays a foundation for understanding human history."Bill Gates

In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal.

The Ultimate Command Center for My Workbench
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
I finally ditched the old, flimsy power strip on my workbench and mounted this DEPOW 28-in-1 Surge Protector on the wall behind it. Honestly? It was the best move I’ve made for my workspace in years. Here is why this thing is a beast for anyone with a hobby or work bench: Insane Outlet Capacity: With 22 AC outlets, I no longer have to play "musical chairs" with my power tools. I can keep my chargers and bench tools plugged in simultaneously without running out of room. The Modern Tech Solution: It feels like every new gadget uses USB-A or USB-C these days. Having 6 dedicated USB ports (including 3 USB-C) built right in means I can charge my phone, tablets, and lights without using up my precious AC space with bulky "bricks." Pro Mounting & Design: Mounting it on the wall cleared up so much clutter on the bench surface. The 6.5ft flat plug cord made it easy to reach the wall outlet even with the bench pushed flush against it. Peace of Mind: With 2100 Joules of surge protection, I don’t have to worry about my expensive electronics or power tools getting fried during a storm. The Bottom Line: This isn't just an extension cord; it’s a full-on power hub. If you have a mix of high-power tools and modern USB-charged gear, "this baby" truly does it all. Highly recommended for gamers, DIYers, or anyone with a home office!

Fantastic power strip with tons of outlets!
Size: 6.5 FT, Color: Black
This surge protector power strip is amazing! With 22 AC outlets and 6 USB ports including USB-C, it's incredibly versatile for all my devices. The flat plug makes it easy to fit behind furniture and the 6.5-foot cord gives plenty of reach. The 1875W capacity handles everything with ease!
