I once had a person from a South American country (a LDC) tell me the following: "Here it's hot and it

makes us want to go outside and have fun; in your country it's cold a lot, so people stay inside and
read and learn things, that is why it is more advanced." This idea is a good illustration of what Human
Geography concept that geographers believed 100 years ago, but don't anymore?​
