I think the general consensus is that Jared Diamond was too deterministic in claiming that the fact that Europeans discovered and colonized the Americas, had the Industrial Revolution, colonized Asia and Africa, etc. was inevitable because of their environment. Yet it also seems that his claim that at 1492 Eurasian dominance was inevitable because of Eurasia's abundance of domesticable plant and animal species isn't particularly controversial. So was Jared Diamond correct about the factors driving historical development up until 1492 and wrong about the factors driving historical development after 1492?
