Guns, Germs and Steel
Based on the Pulitzer prize-winning best seller by Jared Diamond, this documentary explores the connections between geography, technology and global human development. Hosted by the author himself, this extraordinary series spans 13,000 years of struggle and conquest. From early social and agricultural innovations in 'Out of Eden' to the role of weapons and disease in 'Conquest', to the modern interplay of geography and resources in 'Into the Tropics', this gripping, sometimes controversial detective story reveals how human history may have been shaped by our access to Guns, Germs and Steel.
