He argued that cultures in similar environments abbe similar adaptive mechanisms. All adaptations are short lived and constantly changing. People are constantly adapting to the places they are in. Changes can elaborate on existing cultures, or make completely new ones.

He said that on interactions between human and non human communities are unavoidable. The equilibrium between human societies and the environment can never be reached. Living things that are very sensitive to different temperature. You see how these different beings react to the core.
