Answer:
1-DEMOGRAPHY
2-Determinism is usually understood to preclude free will because it entails that humans cannot act otherwise than they do. EXAMPLE- determinist might argue that a person's genes make him or her anxious
3-Technology indicates the level of cultural development of society. Human beings were able to develop technology after they developed better understanding of natural laws.
4-Natural slavery is the argument set forth in Aristotle's Politics that some people are slaves by nature, while others are slaves solely by law or convention.
5-The theory of neo-determinism was developed by Griffith Taylor, which is a mid way between the two theories of determinism and possibilism. It means that human beings can conquer nature by obeying it. Human geography encompasses human, political, cultural, social and economic aspects of social sciencesciences.

Answer:
1. Population geography
2. In the early stages of their interaction with their natural environment humans were greatly influenced by it. They adapted to the dictates of Nature. This is so because the level of technology was very low and the stage of human social development was also primitive. This type of interaction between primitive human society and strong forces of nature was termed as environmental determinism. At that stage of very low technological development we can imagine the presence of a naturalised human, who listened to Nature, was afraid of its fury and worshipped it.There is direct dependence ofhuman beings on nature for resources which sustain them. The physical environment for such societies becomes the "Mother Nature".
