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.

Looks great, doesn't hold much so measure carefully
Color: Gray, Size: Rectangle
I got this organizer for my husband to keep his stuff by the door. While it's a little smaller than I'd hoped, it looks great in the entryway. It's super easy to snap together, but feels like the material could be damaged easily if you're not careful. He is able to store his keys, wallet, and sunglasses in it, and throws hit hat on top. Overall we are really happy with it.

Perfect
Color: Blue, Size: Square
Just what I needed. The size is perfect as I didn’t want anything too large to place my watches and other accessories inside near the corner of my desk. Its size is essentially 7x7, and the design is sleek compared to other organizer holders. I got the color in blue and it looks stunning with the rest of my setup. I’m unsure about other reviewers, but mine came safely and the leather walls are decently thick, so it’s not too flimsy when buttoned together which holds very securely. There are hole spaces at the bottom corners once assembled, so if you have super small items such as beads or really small jewelry, they could potentially fall out, but most of my items are large enough that won’t be of concern. If you have a wire charger near by, the holes could be used to charge your smartphone inside, which has its own practical usage. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it if you’re on a lookout for a sleek but compact organizer holder, and I personally will consider getting another one in the future for myself for other household belongings.

Your Jewelry’s New Bodyguard
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror, Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
I did not realize how feral my jewelry situation was until this little seashell-shaped box showed up and brought real order to the chaos. Before this, necklaces traveled like they were in a mosh pit, earrings roamed free like they paid rent, and rings disappeared into the void whenever they felt like it. Now? The ProCase Travel Jewelry Box acts like a tiny black PU leather bodyguard for my accessories. The size is perfect—actually compact and travel-friendly without being useless. It slides into a purse, carry-on, or weekender with zero fuss, and looks sleek while doing it. Bonus: it has that clean, new-bag smell (not that weird cheap-plastic scent some travel cases come with). The two-layer interior is the MVP: • ring slots that actually hold • earring sections that keep pairs together • divided compartments • and the inner flap divider that keeps everything separated so pieces don’t mix, migrate, or start fighting for territory... It stays organized even when I don’t. The zipper glides smoothly, the structure is sturdy, and it survived being tossed in a crowded bag like an absolute champ—no dents, no damage, no “why am I like this?” regret. Functionally, it solves every travel jewelry problem without trying too hard: • no more mystery earrings • no more digging through a black-hole makeup bag • no more tiny boxes that only hold one ring and a dream If you travel, juggle multiple bags, or just want your jewelry to stop living a chaotic double life, this compact portable jewelry organizer is the move. It’s cute, durable, practical, and genuinely real-world ready—not just “Pinterest organized,” but throw-it-in-your-bag-and-go organized. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — My jewelry finally behaves.

Nicer Than Expected!
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
I researched all the options I could find before deciding on this one. I wanted to gift this to my mom since she travels a lot. I was very pleased when I saw the high quality of the zipper. The zipper is nice anyway because many other options only have a snap, which is less secure/sturdy. It zips smoothly and doesn't get caught up or snagged. This case is roomy, and could fit quite a bit of jewelry! My mom used to use a soft side case, and this one will protect her jewelry better (especially since the necklace section keeps them from getting tangled up), and the pieces won't slide all over each other in transit. Overall, it is a well-made case that looks and feels nice, and will keep my mom's jewelry well-organized and protected. I just ordered another one for myself! :)

Practical Jewelry Box
Color: Black, Size: Medium - No Mirror
I really like this little jewelry box — the black PU leather gives it a classy look. It’s the perfect size to keep on my dresser at home, but it’s also super convenient for travel. The two layers make it easy to separate earrings, rings, and necklaces without everything getting tangled. It feels well made, zips smoothly, and keeps my pieces organized whether I’m at home or packing for a trip. Such a practical and pretty find.
