=== ''The World Until Yesterday'' (2012) ===
In ''[[The World Until Yesterday]]'', published in 2012, Diamond asks what the western world can learn from [[traditional society|traditional societies]]. It surveys 39 traditional small-scale societies of farmers and hunter-gatherers with respect to how they deal with universal human problems. The problems discussed include dividing space, resolving disputes, bringing up children, treatment of elders, dealing with dangers, formulating religions, learning multiple languages, and remaining healthy. The book suggests that some practices of traditional societies could be usefully adopted in the modern industrial world today, either by individuals or else by society as a whole.{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}}
