No, and no. Diamond makes no moral judgements. His theories are based on geography. He does make the point early on that so-called
“primitive” people are very intelligent, as shown by how they survive in often hostile environments. But he never claims one group is all innocence and the other all evil. I doubt a book like that would even find a publisher.

Yes, he paints white people as evil. The book is woke excuses that are false. Diamond knows little about native Americans or Aborigines, He gives the excuses of their failed society is because of the plants, animals and geography. He is a fraud. His woke nonsense is by design to belittle white people by leaving out any of their accomplishment. This book is academic fraud.
