Taylor Semple’S - Influences of Geographical Environment (1911) Man is a product of the earth’s surface. This means not merely that he is a child of the earth, dust of her dust, but the earth has mothered him, set him task, directed his thought, confronted him with difficulties, that have strengthened his body and sharpened his wits, gave him his problems of navigation or irrigation and at the same time whispered hints for their solution. Critics of Environmental Determinism. Spate - without man environment does not exist. It separates nature from man - breaks unity. Exaggerates nature’s role in determining human life. Data insufficient for supremacy of nature Neo – Determinism (Stop & Go Determinism).
Environmental determinism is the belief that the physical environment affects social and cultural development. This school of thought can be traced back to ancient Greek times but did not become.
