Will someone please inform the arrogant human-hating jerks like Jared Diamond? That's where he lost me in "Guns, Germs and Steel." What a crock! If humans did it why did we only go after the humungous-sized critters that could do us serious harm, while leaving most animals under 200 pounds alone? That's always seemed upside-down to me. Science marches on.
His political correctness in the first part of the book pissed me off so I quit read it.
