I feel like you might not be that familiar with r/AskHistorians? It is the least reddit-like part of Reddit, it has extremely high standards and is rigorously moderated. Here are the most notable critical threads on Guns, Germs and Steel[1]. Just because Why The West Rules For Now might seem to be preferred by them doesn't necessarily speak to its reputation, seeing as GGS apparently sets such a low bar. I don't see any problems with Ian Morris' article here. He is a writer, as well as an academic. The audience for the article seems to be for well-informed, non-specialised intellectuals. As such the article seems well pitched. 1. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/historians_views#wiki_historians.27_views_of_jared_diamond.27s_.22guns.2C_germs.2C_and_steel.22 https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/wiki/historians_views...
