Jared Diamond has a theory. Diamond believes that these global inequalities boil down to geographic luck. He believes that areas and civilization that had a greater variety of animals, crops and fertile soil had an advantage over those who had less, for example, if an area had little nutrients in the soil, the civilization living there would have to work harder to grow crops, which in turn, would slow the technological progress of that civilization and if the area had lots of nutrients in the soil, they wouldn't have to work as hard, leading to less…
