Juniper Publishers-Open Access Journal Of Social Sciences & Management studies



Authored by Allan C Ornstein

On a global and theoretical level, growth and prosperity among cultures and civilizations can be explained by environment, or by the limits of geographical isolation. Given a make-believe world in which every individual has identical genetic potential, there would still be large differences in education, skills, and related occupations and productivity among people because of environmental and demographic differences that over centuries shape human behavior and attitudes.
