According to the text, how have physical features and environmental conditions influenced the past and migration patterns?
Physical geography, such as landforms and climate, plays a big role in shaping how people live and move.
Understanding the physical features and environmental conditions is not important for understanding history and culture.
Climate patterns do not affect the types of plants and animals that can live in different regions.
The influence of European countries has had no impact on the past and migration patterns.
