Environmental determinism is the scientific theory that the environment, most notably its physical factors such as landforms and climate, can determine the patterns of human culture and societal development. )for example, a tribe that lives on the beaches of a large ocean will have different histories, religions, and mythology than a tribe that lives in mountain caves) Environmental determinists are scientists who believe that ecological, climatic, and geographical factors are in large part responsible for human cultures and individual decisions.[1]
