A Random Question to Brood Over.

I'm not sure how that means the land did not come first.

There wasn't any land there. About 20% of the Netherlands used to be either sea floor or lake, not land. Therefore, in these cases, there were people there first before it became land. Yes, technically a sea is still geography, but the land as such was created by the people who were there first.

Well.... Its not really chicken and the egg. Unless land masses and people both appeared at the same time. The land did come first

Once people showed up, thats when everything went south. Like too stubborn zax's...they probably could not agree on anything. Let me get this straight, we can both walk 6000 miles in any direction, and not encounter another living soul, but....this stretch of land here we have to fight over?

Haha, true land was definitely there first! But yeah, once humans showed up, it’s like, “Why fight over this spot when there’s a whole planet to explore?” Classic human stubbornness. Gotta love it (or not).

Wow, it's been a very long while since I've created a thread, but here we go!
This is just a question that randomly popped up in my head as I was creating my fictional world, it is...



This question might sound random and it probably is, but I feel like it would be fun to think about and consider all the aspects of history and geography and how they might affect each other. You could even get the others involved- How does Politics mix into this? What about Culture? And Science? Or even Art? I'd love to know how you people interpret this question and how you answer it.

Geography shapes history (rivers = civilizations, mountains = borders), but history rewrites geography (wars change maps, cities rise/fall). Throw in politics, culture, and tech, and it’s a chicken-or-egg debate with extra drama.
