Explain how geography has contributed to the development of diversity in the context of different cultures. Draw on at least two of the readings from this week. Provide an example of a specific population and describe how the population was diversified through geographical drivers. These can include politics/wars, land formations, trade, population migration, and so forth. Your post should be a minimum of 250 words.
Once you have posted your initial post, respond to at least two of your classmates. Compare and contrast your answers. What do you like about their explanation, and what would you add/change? How are the populations similar, and what is unique about the circumstances of each population? How they were influenced by the geographical drivers?
