Can culture be determined solely by the environment according to possibilism?

💡 The Answer

  • No, possibilism says the environment only sets constraints, not total determination.
  • Culture is otherwise determined by social conditions.
  • This directly contrasts with environmental determinism.
  • Humans are active agents in shaping their own culture.
  • Strabo's ancient ideas align perfectly with this view.
