Excuse me the Wright Bros. invented the airplane, with NO govt help. If anything, the Govt. stole their inventions and forced them into GOVT controlled court. Telescopes were invented hundreds of yrs ago. Look up the history of each one. Bronowski had a good book on Connections...that is useful. ALL inventions have a history. SCUBA invented by Jacques Cousteau. Govt. wants to seize and control inventions for political use...like the way Communist China limits the internet today
there was no govt. funding for Gutenberg, Apple (Steve Jobs) and Wozniak. Henry Ford had none. Hewlett Packard started in a garage. Bill gates had no govt. help. it is true that SOME govt. funding does help, but many of the most important inventions were done in garages...hmmm Should the govt. subsidize garages? Yes govt can help, Bell Labs invented the laser, with some govt help. And radar was subsidized...there are great examples on both sides. But Govt. is NOT essential
Yes, Europeans were impacted by germs, but it was hundreds of years ago, not thousands. And, they were almost wiped out by germs of their own making, plagues created by dense large populations - and by many of the same germs that they "exported" to other continents starting in the 1500's. 25% of Europe was eliminated. 24 of 25 million in the Americas were killed by germs or conquest - or 96%. The population of Indians went from 25.3 million in 1519, to a scant 1 million in 1605.
there can be only 2 distinct possibilities, 1 god is correct because history and scripture seem to compliment each other very well, or 2 this knowledge has been kept secrets by man and is now being released
This video says it was our advanced technology that helped us rise, correct, cause we had the brains to use the resources and invent said technology. Indians and African'ts sat on the resources and never thought to use them! We have made countries and handed them to blacks countless times, well ran, and they destroy it!
This crap is stupid so far, saying we had steel, there was raw Iron in North & south America, We made the gums, invented them, this is just mainstream trying to explain away our greatness over savage primitives!
@Whitevoice14 Just an excuse flick, saying we had this or that and helped us get where we are, lol maybe it takes brains to make those things! S. American Indians sat on vast resources for eons there why didn't they ever try to make something out of it? It took us going there to do it!
@wwefanworld2 And you sound like an Idiot. Religion is irrelevant. Im an Atheist and regard ALL religion as a crutch, and I bet your christian, and if so you better reevaluate your beliefs because Jesus was a Jew, and a Hippy, so take your racist bullshit to your racist buddies, I came to the conclusion of Guns Germs and Steel when I was 7.
@annettero22 There a lot of reasons. Farming can be more reliable at times, which is obviously dependent on the weather and conditions. Hunting and gathering depends fully on the animals and other variables, like the plants, and the chance of actually finding the grass
No the reason farming is superior to hunting gathering is simple. I can produce a good deal more food (value) farming one location than i can hunting (however husbandry also allows this). So why? Well i can take this extra food (value) and TRADE it for a specific good that requires time skill and dedication to perfect say ... METAL INSTRUMENTS. To accomplish this level of skill/experience a good deal of time is needed where the person can not be bother to hunt for their food.
This is clearly outlined in the wealth of nations by Adam Smith. Who clearly also outline why some cultures progress (gain wealth) faster than others.
@annettero22 farming can produce a food surplus, making specialising possible for people. this way technological advancement can take place, or creating of armies. the hunter-gatherer is 24/7 on survival mode, only making it barely day by day.

Although grouped together as part of"Eurasians"Whites are gleefully singled out as the comical protagonist,who mindlessly copy everything from their arab neighbours discover guns &other useful inventions by happy chance and bumble around the world coughing&on& diseasing natives who save them time&time againfrom their own stupidity. In the prologue this fruitcake even describes Papuans as "probably genetically superior in mental ability to Whites,thus undermining the entire premise of the book!
Sensationalist piece of anti White drek from a Jewish faggot with an erection for Papua New Guinean tribesmen. Its a lightweight worthless hodge podge of pseudoscience filled with omissions, contradictions and double standards, the kind of work lapped up by modern multiculturalist PC sheep. More than simply being a generic feelgood work of egalitarianism, its a downright nasty attempt at the denigrating and trivialising the achievements of Whites.
Jared you wasted alot of time explaining this! Its simple why others have prospered and others stayed the way they are in reference in equality! Everyone raped Africa for knowledge, raped us for our people, raped us for our lands filled with diamonds and oil and continue to this day, while at the same time. Consider us unfit to be on white ran media TV and other opportunities that whites protect for only themselves.
Diamond omits that the different environments selected for different genetic traits over time. New York Times science writer Nicholas Wade's 'Before the Dawn' & "The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution" are more complete in this respect.
@infinity999ful I'm guessing you believe that somehow humans were created from one all powerful person, even though there is no proof as to how such a person could have existed. I mean did he just randomly pop and and say "Hey, I'm gonna create the world today". Where did he come from then?
@StephBkr732 Can you prove that He doesn't exist? how do you know that by Him creating the world in 7 days, that mean 7 human days? 7 days could be billions of years old. so the animal fossils could be millions of years old because each day could have been billions. also, the prehistoric human fossils could also have been mutated apes, which explains why apes still exist today and not died of which according to "natural selections" it should.
What a bunch of social romanticist bs. The "voyage into space" was possible bc of Wernher von Braun, the german rocket program, its scientists and nasa. thats it.
What about the alphabet, literacy, and Gutenberg? Civilizations thrive on the ability to transfer information accurately and quickly. Also the divide of the right and the left brain. Right brain is heavy in non-literate societies. Left brain is more dominate in western (thanks to Gutenberg). Now with the electronic age right and left are coming back as one as simultaneous awareness. So far I'm not seeing Diamond address this and I wonder if he ever does.
@Hairysteed not exactly true. you work an average of 7 hours a week to feed yourself, they only need to work around 3-4 a days to get their food. most of the time they spend it chatting and sleeping. And so it's for the hunter gatherer populations.
@LapoSettepanze you could be right, but in order to have specialists to develop writing, tools etc there needs to be food surplus, In the case of new Guinea most people were preoccupied with finding food for themselves, even if that may have been 3-4 days a week
Of course climates can and will change without human intervention, but if you think 4.5 billion humans burning fossil fuel has little to do with it, then your head is buried very deep in the sand.And that's not 'science' either, it's common sense.
" Nobel Prize winner Dr Watson "Blacks are less intelligent than Whites"
The founding father of Genetics Dr Watson related to the Sunday Times that the future of Africa is "Dark" because "Blacks do not have the same intelligence as Whites". The Nobel Prize winner told the times that the world "Pretends Blacks have the same mental ability as whites but the reality is that all the scientific research says thats not true."
Mr Diamond DOES NOT WANT THE REAL ANSWER THATS WHY HE IGNORES IT
....Read the new book "The Evolution of Racial Differences in Intelligence" by the worlds top Scientist in this field Dr R Lynn (Harvard/Berkley/Ulster) Dr Lynn uses the work of over...500..different Research teams (from around the world) to show there are Large Racial Differences in Brain size and Intelligence
Dr Lynn shows there are without question..GENETIC DIFFERENCES..pointing out that mixed race blk/wht Children ALSO have smaller brains and lower IQs than White Children
Free energy technology exists!But some very powerfull ppl don't want you and me to be free from energy costs,Find the real deal, a free energy device at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Join the revolution!
Wait! WAIT! The climate changed 12,500 years ago? I thought "evil" corporations were the ONLY culprit for climate change! So, ice age then not ice age, then re-ice age, and now it's off again. Those evil profit mongering corporations must have been around 12,500 years ago! Thats the only answer!
@Molo9000 It doesn't prove that, and I didn't say it did. It DOES prove that the climate can and will change without human intervention. Giving much support to the "we don't understand, yet" theory. This undermines the bullshit we're being fed by the enviromentalists/political left that human are the sole cause; they clearly aren't.
Climate changes without human intervention, but it doesn't just change for no reason.
There are plenty of "natural" things that influence climate like the activity of our sun or the Earth's orbit or volcanic activity or clouds, but none of those things can explain the climate change over the last 100 or 150years or whatever.
@Molo9000 This is absolutely not true. There are many scientists offering many explanations of why climate change is happening, including some that say climate change is a natural cycle which we don't fully understand. Those advocating for a human-only theory of global warming have demanded, since the beginning, that the debate is over and the science is settled; now its time to enact their policies. This is not how science is done!
we watched this movie in our world history class and we are doing a lot of comprehension questions for homework. I never could have answered them without seeing this video again!!! Thank you!!!!!! I also have a big quiz on it tomorrow and this really helped me study!!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!
As for getting to the moon, ask any science historian; and they will surely confirm that Mans voyage into space(still in its infancy) is possible b/c of a culmination of contributions made by civilizations since man first tried to cross a river. From the man who made the first ax to the ones wearing the spacesuit everything and everystage in between was equally important. We didnt just wake up in Cape Kennedy& decided to launch a rocket at 1/2 time of the Superbowl.
@translationwiz Folks that don't realize this chain reaction of discovery should direct attention to the book "The day the universe changed" by james burke. Also his series on bbc called "connections"
Some people went to the moon stupid! And I bet your not smart enough to even spell M-O-O-N. Go get a Nazi tatoo, head toward the woods, pick your nose, cut off your hair, and suck a pigs ass in Arkansas, and then try and make it to the moon you stupid uneducated tabacco sucking Jerry Springer clown!
Jomongogo is do do. There were Germans, Irish, and other ethnic groups that landed on the moon you stinkin Nazi bastard. Jomongogo is a good name for your ignorant high school drop out ass. EAT SHIT JO MO SHIT HOLE
Fact remains whites went to the moon and niggers would still be living in the stone age if whites hadn't come along I don't see how Diamonds bullshit ideas smash anything
@TheJomogogo Who cares if whites went to the moon?! Was that trivial technological feat worth the savageness and genocide they left behind. If the moon could support life I would bet the whites would have fucked that place up by now. You must feel so proud.
This guy is such a bogus fruitcake. He would probably have you believe physical strength and athletic prowess has nothing to do with genes, if he could. He's a quack.
the New Guinaen who asked why whites have so much, would be suprised if knew Europeans once lived in bush camps too long ago. everything we got to enhance material life we got from the Middle East!! us Europeans wuz to stupid to invent marble floors and huge stone cities!=Persepolis!! so we copied it all!
Yeah, they were so 'stupid' they barely built Stonehenge and developed an Iron Age civilisation in Britain with little or no input from the 'enlightened East'.
@SD78 .......oh yes, we did well in the Iron Age, on dirt floors!! while in the east they had much better stuff! stuff Greece and Rome used to have! i have no use for the invading Roman legions, but nuthins wrong with indoor heated floors! Britons in the south adopted that stuff for a bit till the Saxons wrecked it all.
@SD78 Much of the "superior" Europeans were also dominated by the Mongols. Eastern Europe was under rule by them for decades. There was this guy named Kublai Khan. You may have heard of him as well.
@SD78 What a joke. Yes I've heard of Alexander. He did not dominate anyone. He came with a huge army, killed everyone he saw in the way and reached the border of India. He fought a small king called Porus and faced a very difficult battle. He won but pardoned Porus and turned back. He was 25 years old at this time. He died on his way back to at the age of 32 without having entered the mainlands of India. So please get your facts right.
LMAO@'Alexander not dominating anyone'...what, do you mean aside from basically the entire Mediterranian and Middle East ALL THE WAY to India, like I said???
Did you use your 6 other accounts to vote this comment up in the space of 5 hours? You might want to read the Youtube EULA.
I do not know exactly if this is correct, but new studies keep proving that 13 000 years ago there was civilization and agriculture in the America's already ..
You can't be a great civilization without some form of slavery or servitude or warfare....I doubt there was every a time where equality was the norm for humans.
He is coming from an evolutionist perspective. This throws things off for me because this planet is only a little more than 6000 years old... According to the Scriptures...
Bruce Lahn professor of human genetics at the Unv. Chicago stood before a packed lecture hall and reported the results of new DNA analysis He had found signs of evolution in the brains of some people, but not of others
He flashed maps showing changes (in brain size/ IQ ) had taken hold in Europe but weren't common in Black/Brown Populations
**G, G, and S is a fantastic book, I've read it too.**
It is a great book, but Diamond overlooks that the changes in agriculture, population expansion and social organisation were also accompanied by genetic changes. More recent books like 'The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution' by Harpending & Cochran, or 'Before the Dawn' by New York Times science writer Nicholas Wade build on Diamonds work in this respect.

he doesnt answer this question of inequality in the way that some people would like him to. i am not alone when i say there must have been intervention on some colonies people..alien intervention
of course! the question is more complex ,then the expression of an imbecile ho wonders why isn't he and his people running the show,BECAUSE!
why are we al not equals ,because you can fuck in the ass and be fucked in the same time,it is biological posible,but only at the gay people.
Democracy bettwen individuals ,not nations,this is the rule.People are poor because they are evil ,they spend all their time making cruel actions against theyr one people ,
yeah dude. it depends on your definition of advanced. living communities are so integrated into their environment that they actually benefit the environment... the us and europe are so seperated from the living environment that they're murdering the land on which they depend... but if you think being extinct is advanced then hold on, we're about to be advanced beyond your wildest dreams.
The answer to his question.. is very simple.. Alien intervention.

Although grouped together as part of"Eurasians"Whites are gleefully singled out as the comical protagonist,who mindlessly copy everything from their arab neighbours discover guns &other useful inventions by happy chance and bumble around the world coughing&on& diseasing natives who save them time&time againfrom their own stupidity. In the prologue this fruitcake even describes Papuans as "probably genetically superior in mental ability to Whites,thus undermining the entire premise of the book!

Sensationalist piece of anti White drek from a Jewish faggot with an erection for Papua New Guinean tribesmen. Its a lightweight worthless hodge podge of pseudoscience filled with omissions, contradictions and double standards, the kind of work lapped up by modern multiculturalist PC sheep. More than simply being a generic feelgood work of egalitarianism, its a downright nasty attempt at the denigrating and trivialising the achievements of Whites.

@StephBkr732 Can you prove that He doesn't exist? how do you know that by Him creating the world in 7 days, that mean 7 human days? 7 days could be billions of years old. so the animal fossils could be millions of years old because each day could have been billions. also, the prehistoric human fossils could also have been mutated apes, which explains why apes still exist today and not died of which according to "natural selections" it should.

What about the alphabet, literacy, and Gutenberg? Civilizations thrive on the ability to transfer information accurately and quickly. Also the divide of the right and the left brain. Right brain is heavy in non-literate societies. Left brain is more dominate in western (thanks to Gutenberg). Now with the electronic age right and left are coming back as one as simultaneous awareness. So far I'm not seeing Diamond address this and I wonder if he ever does.

Climate changes without human intervention, but it doesn't just change for no reason.
There are plenty of "natural" things that influence climate like the activity of our sun or the Earth's orbit or volcanic activity or clouds, but none of those things can explain the climate change over the last 100 or 150years or whatever.
Molo9000 1 year ago
@Molo9000 This is absolutely not true. There are many scientists offering many explanations of why climate change is happening, including some that say climate change is a natural cycle which we don't fully understand. Those advocating for a human-only theory of global warming have demanded, since the beginning, that the debate is over and the science is settled; now its time to enact their policies. This is not how science is done!
