    Cet article s’intéresse à l’adaptation au changement. La capacité, ou non, à faire face à des situations nécessitant des changements de mode de vie radicaux est en effet déterminante pour permettre la survie d’individus, de groupes ou de sociétés. Le monde actuel implique, au niveau mondial, de telles adaptations, que ce soit pour faire face au changement climatique ou encore assurer la sécurité collective. Cet article s’appuie d’abord sur l’anal…

Nothing else is needed to confirm the author's megacelebrity status-bu…

  • Farmers and Their Languages

    Open AccessJared Diamond, P BellwoodARTICLEScience2003

    The largest movements and replacements of human populations since the end of the Ice Ages resulted from the geographically uneven rise of food production around the world. The first farming societies thereby gained great advantages over hunter-gatherer societies. But most of those resulting shifts of populations and languages are complex, controversial, or both. We discuss the main complications and specific examples involving 15 language familie…

    Open AccessJared M Diamond, Jared DiamondARTICLEThe Journal of Economic History2001

    History's broadest pattern, and its biggest unsolved problem, are its very different course on different continents. Why did Aboriginal Australians remain stone-age hunter-gatherers, while agriculture and empires were arising among Native Americans, and while widespread literacy and metal tools were arising in Eurasia? Why were Europeans the ones to conquer Africans, Aboriginal Australians, and Native Americans, instead of vice versa? For lack of…

  • Guns, germs, and steel

    Jared DiamondBOOKGuns, germs, and steel1997

    Why did Eurasians conquer, displace, or decimate Native Americans, Australians, and Africans, instead of the reverse? In this groundbreaking book, evolutionary biologist Jared Diamond stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history by revealing the environmental factors actually responsible for history's broadest patterns. Here, at last, is a world history that really is a history of all the world's peoples, a unified narrative of …

  • Homo sapiens sapiens , the Third Chimpanzee, on the Brink of Extinction

    Jared M Diamond, Jared DiamondARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…1994

    Small genetic differences between species can have large effects on ecosystems; the best example of this is the human species. Though genetically more than 98 per cent identical to its nearest relative, the chimpanzee, it differs significantly in its capacity to modify its habitats according to its own interests. The shaping of nature has allowed the human species to expand at an unprecedented rate, at the cost of many other species. Now, at the …
