Germs‚ and Steel Study Guide Questions Yali’s Question to Jared Diamond was as follows: Why did the Europeans have superior technology‚ and thus conquer the New World‚ rather than the other way around? Many answers have been put to the query‚ but a couple stand out. A common answer to this question is that because the Europeans got the guns‚ germs‚ and steel‚ they were superior. Diamond refutes this by asking about the ultimate cause: why did the Europeans get the guns‚ germs‚ and steel‚ rather than

Mohammed Asif M et al studied the impact of heat input on tensile strength‚ toughness‚ micro hardness‚ micro structure and corrosion behavior of duplex stainless steel joints. Four parameters were varied by keeping speed as constant. The heating pressure of 30‚ 40‚ 50 MPa‚ heating time of 3‚ 4‚ 5 sec‚ upset pressure of 60‚ 70‚ 80 MPa‚ upset time of 2‚ 3‚ 4 sec were used to weld the joints. L9 orthogonal design concept was used. Results revealed that no intermetallic phases were formed. By increasing

Guns‚ Germs and Steel somewhat explains how the Europeans were able to conquer Africa and the Americas‚ but also leaves out some very important information. This Information includes things like political decisions‚ alliances‚ human decisiveness‚ and some information that flaws his theory of “Geographic Luck” (Guns Germs and Steel) . Essentially‚ Diamond’s theory basically claims that Europeans conquered based solely on geographic luck‚ and leaves out all other information that also impacted the

Inequality in the development of civilizations has long been a mystery. That is‚ until the book Guns‚ Germs‚ and Steel came out in 1997. This book revealed how geography determined that Europe was fortunate in agriculture‚ domesticated animals‚ germs and Papua New Guinea and Inca were not. Climate is determined by the latitude and longitude of a location. The latitude and longitude of Papua New Guinea causes it to have a hot tropical climate year-round and one of the only things they can grow is

I really liked the video and thought it was real interesting. I do pretty much agree to what I have heard so far. I agree that all the great civilizations had in common that they all had advanced technology‚ a large population‚ and an organized work for. I think the same applies kind of to big companies: The all have advanced technology‚ have a lot of workers‚ and have an organized work force. I already knew about crop domestication‚ but I can‚ again‚ make a connection of the proses to big companies
