Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond is the November book for the History and Current Events Book Club. Join in person at the Civic Center Library in the Board Room or via Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88607174362 on November 14 at 7 p.m.

Book Summary: “Jared Diamond presents the geographical and ecological factors that have shaped the modern world. From the viewpoint of an evolutionary biologist, he highlights the broadest movements, both literal and conceptual, on every continent since the Ice Age, and examines societal advances such as writing, religion, government, and technology. Diamond also dissects racial theories of global history, and the resulting work—Guns, Germs and Steel—is a major contribution to our understanding the evolution of human societies.” –the publisher.
