What role do social conditions play in possibilism?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Social conditions determine culture under possibilism.
  • The environment only sets constraints, not the content of culture.
  • This allows for cultural variation across societies.
  • It contrasts sharply with environmental determinism.
  • Strabo's ancient observations support this role of social factors.
