Re: Growth, Wealth, and Race

[david mitchinson]

countries near the equator are more extreme in climactic conditions to 
survive in. hence have either no call for societies to develop the complex 
structures a temperate zone requires (low hanging fruit), or the daily 
struggle to survive precludes the high population densities necessary for 
advanced modes of living. I suggest that some measure of geographical 
adversity may be an interesting link. David
