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.
