Hace trece mil anos la evolucion de las distintas sociedades humanas comenzo a tomar rumbos diferentes. La domesticacion de los animales y el cultivo de plantas silvestres en China, Mesoamerica y otras zonas geograficas otorgaron una ventaja inicial a los habitantes de esas regiones. Sin embargo, los origenes localizados de la agricultura y la ganaderia son solo parte de la explicacion de los diferentes destinos de los pueblos. Las sociedades que superaron esta fase de cazadores-recolectores se encontraron con mas posibilidades para desarrollar la escritura, la tecnologia o las estructuras politicas; ademas de sobrevivir a germenes nocivos y crear poderosas armas belicas. En este libro, el profesor Jared Diamond demuestra que la diversidad cultural hunde sus raices en las diferencias geograficas, ecologicas y territoriales ligadas a cada caso concreto, y analiza como evoluciono la humanidad y por que unos pueblos avanzaron hacia la civilizacion mientras que otros se quedaron estancados. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION "Fascinating.... Lays a foundation for understanding human history."Bill Gates In this "artful, informative, and delightful" (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal.Shipping Notes

Absolutely love this purse!
Color: Nude
Absolutely love this purse! The material feels and looks lux. Very smooth material, and it goes with many outfits and events. Has so much room inside and a pocket as well. Very versatile, you can use it as a purse or a clutch. Does not feel heavy and is very sleek to carry. Definitely picking up in another color!

Bigger than I thought
Color: Black
I love this bag! The magnetic closure is strong. I kinda overfilled my bag and with a little bit of adjusting, it kept closed. I fit my mini wallet, tin of Altoids, set of keys, mini bottle of perfume, box of cigs and lighter. I even had enough space for my phone and charger. The chain strap is a little uncomfortable but it's removable, so no biggie.

Generous storage & accessibility
Color: Black
This purse is very soft and plain with no embellishments. It is not shiny. It is just what I wanted because it did not detract from my gown. It is very practical and convenient because the clutch opens fully at the top so that everything stored inside can be easily seen rather than having to reach in the top and feel around inside a small clutch. It worked perfectly for me and could be useful even in non-formal situations. The magnetic closure is adequate. Storage is generous.

Great bag
Color: Silver
Perfect silver bag for weddings. The material is very soft and not cheap or fake looking.
The clutch fits more items than most evening bags. I can fit glasses, large phone, lipsticks , tissues.
Opens and closes well. The only small issue I have with it is although I like having the chain shoulder strap for hands-free the strap is a little too thick and heavy, and it kinks a little bit. A smaller thinner more delicate chain would be better, but otherwise, a very nice bag. I highly recommend
