Jared Diamond - Learning from Tradition




RNZ: Sunday Morning show

Summary: In his new book, The World Until Yesterday, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jared Diamond reveals how tribal societies offer a window into how our ancestors lived for millions of years and provide unique insights into human nature. He says that while the West has global dominance, it does not necessarily have the best ideas about raising children, caring for the elderly, or living well. The World Until Yesterday, by Jared Diamond, is published by Allen Lane.
