I don't think I've ever met anyone in my anthropology department that likes Jared Diamond's writings. This article says exactly why: "the shallowness of the arguments, and it is this characteristic of Diamond's writings that drives anthropologists to distraction". His conclusions and arguing points are just too shallow to be really good, thorough anthropological examinations.
