Jared Diamond implies that there are no significant genetic differences between ethnoregional groups that account for their different outcomes. As if subsaharan blacks could have been moved to Austria and they would have been the ones dominating Europe in the early 40s.

That wasn't what I got from the book. I took it as more of an explanation of how different ethnicities evolved based on their environments which was quite interesting. Although he does seem to have some kind of agenda to push up third worlders with his thought experiments and was especially biased in that regard. Such as his treatment of domesticed animals. He never made thought experiments as to what might have happened if Euroasians only had the animals native to Africa. Who knows, white men could well have domesticated elephants if that's all they had. I honestly don't regret reading the book although I bought it secondhand so nothing went into the pocket of a kike.
