>Pedrito
I'm French Algerian.
>Unfortunately, it turns out that people's skulls and bodies do not change according to the climate!
They do, though.
>If culture depended on weather and terrain, then all places with the same weather and terrain would have the exact same culture!
The intricacies of culture would have to be different simply because every individual is different, and individual > average is dependent on power and proximity, so just because every culture would develop on the some base doesn't mean they'll end up looking the same once fully developed. Also, not just proximity between individuals for reaching critical mass, but proximity to coasts or mountains or etc., too
>So all people dwelling on temperate plains, from the Americas to Europe to Africa to the vast lands of Asia, would all have the exact same behaviour and conduct!
Read above. Coasts are especially pertinent for exchangimg progress. That's why Europe was a backwater for most of human history and only became worth something once the Americas were discovered. Before then, I guess the master race would've been the Chinese, or the Indians, or the Mesopotamians or Ethiopians. But you probably believe that those were ruled by ancient white people, don't you?
>And inversely, moving to another area (!) would change YOUR culture! Now that's just crazy, isn't it? I used to live in a sunny, subtropical, mountainous country, and now that I have moved to a gloomy, rainy northern flatland, I have suddenly become an Englishman who adores fish and chips, drinks tea and demonstrates the glorious Protestant work ethic! Not! I am still the same fucker I used to be, with the same psychological traits and customs and the same shitty accent.
Yeah, because you weren't raised on that culture during your formative years.
>So I guess it's not terrain and weather, but something else that makes culture after all!
You seem to base a lot of your beliefs, even those proven by study, on simple personal experience. Dummy.
