Is this for some book assignment? Jared Diamond argues that the reason why certain civilizations have flourished to this very day is due to chance and not by mental superiority. Success is dictated by the resources available, the geographical location, and susceptibility to disease. Professor Diamond elaborates on these reasons through examples. For example, he explores societies that have not been able to expand to other regions of the world and the societies that have. Another example he showcases are the civilizations that have failed in history. The title of his book takes is the essence of his theory. Again, he gives a lot more detail and articulate discussion, and therefore it is appropriate that he published a book.

This is a very brief summary, so read. He makes a very convincing argument, but after you read the book you should definitely study critics of his theory. If you want a more visual form of a summary, look for the three part series that was broadcasted on PBS via BT or something..

EDIT: I agree that you should learn how to use the fucking internet.

[EDIT:]modshroom128 does this all the time. If you ask me, he should be banned.
From the medicine cabinet. See mod? You could edit your posts to add extra shit to them, but I personally wouldn't do that because I simply don't work that way. I'll eat my sister's pissdrenched steel wool blanket before I give in to editing posts!

Maybe the post count should only increase for posts with more than 100 characters or something, for I've seen people who dish out 100 of one liner posts in a very short period just to increase post count.

I have no idea why someone wants to increase post count once they got past 100, I thought only new people do it, to use the trade forum.
