Guns, Germs, and Steel

Jared Diamond is a self taught biologist, who is a professor at UCLA. He specials in human physiology, and studying birds.He went to New Guinea to study bird life, and while there a local man asked "why do you have so much cargo, when us New Gunians have few." Professor Diamond was shocked by this question, so he decided to study how countries have civilized. After 30 he is still searching for that answer. He was puzzled that New Guinea has had life for over 40000 years and Europe has only had 500, and Europe is way more advanced. New Guinea is still in a stone age.
