Diamond?s Thesis : Jared Diamond?s thesis is pointing out how if people look at the past with knowing eyes of how the past either succeed or failed, this knowledge can be brought to the modern day as a warning to change the world?s current environmental problems. It is a combination of both human choices to their environment and the environment itself that will either prevent or cause environmental collapse.
