Seasonal humans

Yeah, but only the southern tip of Africa has a winter. So the culture of building up supplies for the year is largely lost on the rest of the continent. Europeans colonizing knew this, so they only put white settlers at certain latitudes with four seasons.Thus everyone in the tropics is lost in cultures that don't appreciate wealth accumulation and specialization. I.e. the California coast, which is a haven for freeloading.Think of the cultural difference between Europeans on the north side of the Mediterranean and the Northern Africans on it's south side. Off the coast in those European countries they have a winter. Off the coast to the south they don't have a winter.So it's not race, religion, necessarily as much as it's climate. This is yet another reason why Japan is a massive success, and southern China may never catch up.-- Addison Wilsonfacebook.com
