One will see how Dunn's approach is the intercommunicating zone and of the major characteristic of the Islamic intercommunicating zone as it took place in the beginning of the 14th century.

A zone form in Eurasia was one such area. The east and west axis of Eurasia is unique to the Eurasian Continent. In the opening of his epilogue Diamond put forward a test for the people.

"I expect that the populations of Aboriginal Australia and Eurasia could have been interchanging during the late Pleistocene, the original Aboriginal Australian would now be ones occupying most of the Americas and Australia, as well as Eurasia, while the

The quote alone lead us to the question why then did the fertile crescent and China eventually lose their enormous leads of thousands of years to late Europe? This other quote from Diamond explains why. "One can, of course point to proximate factors behind Europe's rise: it development of merchant class, capitalism, and patent protection for inventions, its failure to develop absolute despots and crushing taxation, and its Greco-judeo-Christian tradition of critical empirical inquiry. Still for all such proximate causes one must raise the question of ultimate cause: why did these proximate factors themselves arise in Europe, rather than in China or the fertile crescent? For the fertile crescent, the answer is clear. Once it had lost the head start that it enjoyed thanks to its locally available concentration of domesticable wild plants and animals, the Fertile crescent possessed no further compelling geographic advantages."

Ibn Islamic heritage gave him the opportunity to explore areas of Eurasia that other travelers could not explored. For example a powerhouse in food production in the 14th century. The following quote explains just how powerful China was during early history and how backwards Europe was. "For instance, the following obvious question has probably occurred to readers already: why within Eurasia, were European societies, rather than the fertile crescent or China or India, the one that colonized America and Australia, took the lead in technology, and become politically and economically dominant in the modern world? A historian who had lived at any time between 8500 b.c. and A.D 1450, and who had tried then to predict the future historical trajectories, would surely have labeled Europe's eventually dominance as the least likely outcome, because Europe was the most backward of the three old world regions for most of those 10,000 years. From 8500b.c. until the rise of Greece and then Italy after 500 b.c., almost all major innovations in western Eurasia-animal domestication, plant domestication, writing, metallurgy, wheels, states, and so on- arose in or near the fertile crescent."
