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 …….

- It separates nature from man - breaks unity

- Data insufficient for supremacy of nature
Neo – Determinism (Stop & Go Determinism)
