Environmental determinism was a popular theory in the 19th century that linked human behavior and culture to climate and geography. One of the most prominent figures associated with this theory is a man named Friedrich Ratzel. His major contribution was the concept of Lebensraum, or "living space," which argued that certain people are naturally more suited to occupy certain territories based on their physical and cultural traits.
