He has to come up with evidence-based, scientific alternatives.No, we must applaud scientists who help us get to the truth, Diamond, not those who further your political agenda.The author rarely stops pondering at the possibility that his own theories might be wrong.And he never admits it when it’s conjectures he is sharing, preferring instead to pretend he is presenting scientific truths.For example, the author says that most life outside of earth is extremely unlikely to evolve towards intelligence.I have never really trusted these idealized representations of “backward but wise societies” who love animals and respect the environment.Especially when the author himself discussed many opposing examples.This is silly and I’d expect a scientist writing about life to know a bit more about life.The truth is that if we start a nuclear war or another genocide, other forms of lives would continue living pretty much as if nothing happened.The author says that the relative poverty of Mediterranean civilizations such as Greece and Persia is an example of societies that destroyed their own resource-base.He talks about “deforestation, overgrazing and erosion” that turned a lush land into the barren places we see today.Jared Diamond says that anthropologists claiming that a big penis is a display for women are engaging in wishful thinking.Yet, the author confusing what women are comfortable Penises are hardly a tool of intimidation towards other men.I think that aggression, muscles and a willingness to fight are far more intimidating.The big penis is most likely the product of sexual selection by females (see “The Mating Mind”).The author says that we “already appropriated 40% of earth’s productivity”.The analysis on agriculture felt like one was reading a Paleo diet booklet.Of course, almost any major change will present positive and negative aspects, but Diamond’s criticism feels naively idealisticThe author talks about the two Chinese female friends of his.
