 Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Friedrich Ratzel
Initially interested in chemistry and zoology and influenced by the evolutionary writings of Ernst Haeckel, Ratzel undertook several years of travel in Europe and North America as a journalist, and this gave him a chance to see first-hand how human beings had evolved socially, as societies, and in response to their environment.
He began to sour on natural selection as a vehicle for understanding how humans reacted to and made use of their surroundings, developing his own framework (in part based on the migration/dispersal-centered ideas of Moritz Wagner) that became known as anthropogeography.
Within geography Ratzel is generally credited as being the father of political geography (and perhaps of human geography altogether), though he also wrote extensively on physical geography and other subjects.
