Collectively the daily, seasonal, lunar and tidal geophysical cycles regulate much of the temporal biology of life on Earth. The increasing isolation of human societies from these geophysical cycles, as a result of improved living conditions, high-quality nutrition and 24/7 working practices, have led many to believe that human biology functions independently of them. Yet recent studies have highlighted the dominant role that our circadian clock plays in the organisation of 24 hour patterns of behaviour and physiology. Preferred wake and sleep times are to a large extent driven by an endogenous temporal program that uses sunlight as an entraining cue. The alarm clock can drive human activity rhythms but has little direct effect on our endogenous 24 hour physiology. In many situations, our biology and our society appear to be in serious opposition, and the damaging consequences to our health under these circumstances are increasingly recognised. The seasons dominate the lives of non-equatorial species, and until recently, they also had a marked influence on much of human biology. Despite human isolation from seasonal changes in temperature, food and photoperiod in the industrialised nations, the seasons still appear to have a small, but significant, impact upon when individuals are born and many aspects of health. The seasonal changes that modulate our biology, and how these factors might interact with the social and metabolic status of the individual to drive seasonal effects, are still poorly understood.

The equatorial region are a storehouse of diversity and high growth of population.
Explanation:
- The equatorial regions are located close to the equators i.e from 0 to 30-degree latitude in both north and south direction. They cover about 6% of the surface area of the earth and are often found in lowland regions and have a warm and wet climate thought the year.
- They are home to tropical rainforests. As they are also called tropical regions and are distributed around the world in America, as and Africa. Characterized by high temperatures and humidity.
- They are significant areas of biodiversity such as amazon rainforest and evergreen forests of western ghats. Places that are called as subtropics are places between the tropics of cancer and Capricorn. Have mild winters and rainfall is concentrated in cooler months.
