why is it the white guy at the top of the Heap on his cell phone instead of the Asian guy. It's all culture doesn't have anything to do with color
Meh! Weak explanation of the book and 40 year study it depicts The inequality of racial demographics isn’t as debated amongst anthropologists as you made out and is what Dr Diamonds work set out to make clear in the first place. Namely, White and Asian success today is due to better geographical positioning in the ancient world, not because they’re oh so innovative and hard working

Thank you for bringing this up. At the beginning of the book, Diamond makes the point that his Papua New Guinean friend is more intelligent than the average European.
