The philosophies, approaches and practices which inform and flow from a
concern with the environment are known as environmental determinism.The determinists generally consider man as a passive agent on whom environmental factors are acting and determining his attitude, decisionmaking process & lifestyles. The first attempt was made by Greek & Roman Scholars, including the physician Hippocrates, philosopher Aristotle and historians Thucydides and Herodotus. Some supporters of this theory & their view: - Aristotle: -> (Philosopher) explained the difference between North Europeans and Asians in terms of climatic causes. Habitats of Europe were:- (Cold Climate) • Brave & Courageous • Unintelligent • Lacking in Political Organization • Have capacity to rule their neighbors Habitats of Asia were:- (Warm Climate) • Lacking in courage • Intelligent • Politically Strong • Slavery is their Destiny The people of Greece, who occupy the middle position geographically, are endowed with the finest qualities and thus destined by nature itself to rule all over.Strabo (Roman Geographer) attempted to explain how, slope, relief & climate all were the works of God and how these phenomena govern the lifestyles of people. Montesquieu pointed out the difference between the people living in cold climate conditions and people living in warm climate conditions:- Habitats of cold climatic regions are stronger physically, more courageous, frank, less suspicious and less cunning than those of living in warmclimates.
