Jared Diamond embarks on a world-wide quest to understand the roots of global inequality, tracing humanity's meanderings across 13,000 years of history.
Jared asks why Europeans were the ones to conquer so much of the planet - why didn't the Chinese or the Incas become masters of the globe instead, and why are the tropics now the capital of global poverty?
As he peels back the layers of history to uncover fundamental, environmental factors shaping the destiny of humanity, Diamond finds both his theories and his own endurance tested.
