Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel answers the question about why human societies are so different from each other.

environment is unique far outweighs the insane minimal reasons it is considered not. Australia has the world’s most unique fauna and flora‚ our landforms are like no other‚ the geographical perspective on how Australia was formed is unlike any country/continent and finally the natural hazards Australia experiences on a daily basis is unlike the world has seen. Thus it is obvious to say that Australia definitely has the most unique environment in the world. The first reason I strongly believe Australia

motion causes the plates‚ which float on the mantle‚ to move. In 1912‚ Alfred Wegener‚ was the first man to state that the continents were once joined in a continent called Pangaea‚ but he couldn’t explain why and what happened to cause the plates to move apart so at the time the theory wasn’t believed. He based his theory on the fit of the South American and African continent coastlines. Notably the eastern edge of South America and the western edge of Africa showed very similar geological features
