I really liked Guns, Germs & Steel. Not necessarily because I was immediately convinced that it explained everything and that was the end of it (I don't have the relevant expertise to be the judge of that), but just because it showed me a way of looking at the world at a way larger scale than I had previously done, and was very engaging while at it.
It makes sense that such theories like the continental axis hypothesis may turn out to play some role, but not be a single cause-and-effect. Earth is a pretty complex system, after all.
