Helpful Score: 1

Iconic work in the field demonstrating how accidents of geography and geographical biology led to the development of food production in certain locales, which in turn led to sedentary societies, increased population, and crowd-based diseases, which led to job specialization and to more inventors being born, which gave certain peoples a head start on developing technologies and germs that allowed them to defeat other people not so endowed.
