About this listen

 This episode explores the debate between geographic determinism and societal influence in shaping history and civilizations. Using examples from Russia, South America, Angkor Wat, and others, the creator examines whether geography or societal choices play a more decisive role in development. The discussion includes critiques of popular theories, such as those by Jared Diamond, and highlights cases where geography alone fails to explain societal outcomes.
