Parke's Law

Parke's Law states that the characteristics of a society—such as its language, customs, and laws—tend to reflect the environment and resources available in that area. Essentially, the community's practices evolve to suit local conditions, making their behaviors and systems adaptive to their specific surroundings. For example, a region rich in rivers might develop a culture centered around fishing or water transportation. This law highlights how geographic and environmental factors shape cultural development and societal structures over time.
