Question:

Which of the following statement (s) is/are correct about the concept of Environmental Determinism?

Options:

Interaction between primitive human society and strong forces of nature is termed as environmental determinism.

It resulted in Naturalisation of Humans.

According to this concept, humans were afraid of natures fury and therefore worshipped it.

All of the above.

Correct Answer:

All of the above.

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 4: All of the above.

In the early stages of their interaction with their natural environment humans were greatly influenced by it. They adapted to the dictates of Nature. This is so because the level of technology was very low and the stage of human social development was also primitive. This type of interaction between primitive human society and strong forces of nature was termed as environmental determinism. At that stage of very low technological development we can imagine the presence of a naturalised human, who listened to Nature, was afraid of its fury and worshipped it.
