Stories have been verbally told by people since the beginning of mankind to explain the things that people cannot understand and to also teach us valuable life lessons. Oral mythologies were/are a way to explain the cruelty and the greatness of the world and to teach people how they should act and react to their surrounding situations.

History is the actions that have been created in the past by people. We have learned that people can continue to do the right thing because of history.

Given enough time, a researcher could likely find an academic journal article on domesticated llama herding in the Southern Andes, 1820-1824. This type of micro-study has come to dominate the historical field since the 1970s as specialties continue to branch off into more specific subsections. Not so with Guns, Germs, and Steel, a big history with one specific goal, to answer the question of why some societies dominated others in modern history. Wasting no time in stating his focus, Jared…
