Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Ritter supported the idea that human development was not influenced by the environment. could be predicted according to latitude. was determined by ethnic and racial characteristics. was determined by the environment.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Ritter Key parts of that (quotes of his view): "geography was a kind of physiology and comparative anatomy of the earth: rivers, mountains, glaciers, &c., were so many distinct organs, each with its own appropriate functions; and, as his physical frame is the basis of the man, determinative to a large extent of his life, so the structure of each country is a leading element in the historic progress of the nation." "The earth is a cosmic individual with a particular organization, an ens sui generis with a progressive development: the exploration of this individuality of the earth is the task of geography".
