Based on the book “Guns, Germs, and Steel”, a winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for
nonfiction, Jared Diamond recounts how he became intrigued when his New Guinean friend Yali
asked, “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New
Guinea, but we New Guinean people had little cargo of our own? (minute 5.22/54.34)”
The cargo that Yali refers to is technology—tools as simple as axes; accessories such as
umbrellas; and more complicated inventions such as computers, cell phones, and the Internet.
After all, Diamond points out to the concepts of "environmental determinism".
