The most recent non-fiction book I read was Guns, Germs, and Steel, written by Jared Diamond. It is a History reference that explains, in great detail, about the evolution of humanity and the fates of human society. The book starts off about 7million years ago when historians believe that the first human had evolved. Humans were evolved form apes and started out on the country of Africa. Diamond suggests that humans were capable enough to develop certain hand tool that were essential to survival. It was also said that humans started to build small rafts, which eventually evolved into boats, then eventually ships, that were used for humans to distant themselves among their specific races amongst the globe. The first humans ever to enter the continent of North America were people that crossed the Bering strait down from Asia into North America. all these different races of society started out with no more intelligence than the average animal, but as they evolved overtime they were able to accomplish so much more. All races of humans worked at different speeds of discovery. It wasn't until about 3000 B.C. when the first written language was put into action. Humans evolved from the usage of hand tool made out of sticks and stones, into what we are today. History plays an important part in all that we have discovered today, for example: Vaccines, I phones, nuclear technology. All these amazing inventions that came to be over a long period of people who worked hard searching for ways to improve society.
