Jared Diamond’s Theory of “haves" and “have nots” in the World Jared Diamond is a professor at UCLA and a biologist with a passion in ornithology. He has travelled extensively across Papua New Guinea in search of answers to human inequality. A man named Yali had once asked an apparently simple question to Diamond that why do white people have so much cargo and New Guineans have so little. Unable to answer at that time Diamond later realised the answer to Yali’s question is much more complex with lot of implications.
