Diamond focuses on the idea that the success of a society is not catalyzed by genetics or natural superiority‚ but instead by these two major themes: “The Rise of Food Production” and “The Domestication of Animals”. These two themes share a similar concept‚ Geographic Luck‚ which I will address separately. These components will later lead into the three sub-themes‚ two of which the book is named after: Discovery and Use of Steel‚ Germs and Immunity

manufacture and management have started to renew the human-animal relationship. Another topic relation to animal that strikes a curiosity for anthropologists is the act of domestication.
